The box said to drop “teaspoonfuls” onto the cookie sheet. Mine were more like grapefruit spoonfuls. The box also says, “makes twenty-eight cookies.” I only got about a dozen and a half. The cookies bake up firm and chewy, but they were a little dry. However, as my first chocolate chip cookies since March, I’d have to say they were good. They are made with Splenda and there is that faint hint of, “Huh. That’s not sugar.” But its not overtly tinny or nasty like they relied too heavily on chemicals to bring these cookies together. I found them to be quite enjoyable and my roommate, who is a connoisseur of cookie dough gave a thumbs up to the batter. At 130 calories a pop, you can’t sit down and eat a whole plate, but one is better than nothing. To keep myself from doing just that I took them to a get-together at a friend’s house. No one noticed they were “low carb” until asked for people’s opinions. There were no cookies left at the end of the evening. Geoff was pleased.

"I hate cookies" - I have now repeated this so many times that I more or less believe it

It is good to have a mantra, Eric. Mine is "four legs GOOD, two legs BAAD." Oops! - I meant: "Use a smaller plate, and start the day with an apple."
My method has allowed me to lose 380 pounds so far, off and on. [grin]

I've tried telling myself I hate cookies. It works right up until I see a cookie. But, I have switched to using smaller plates and that does work.
