I love cookies. Given a choice of any sweet, including a chunk of good chocolate, I would pick a cookie every time, especially one with chocolate chips and nuts. For my palate, there's just no better combination of butter, chocolate, and nuts than that found in a good crisp cookie.
Because I find cookies so hard to resist, I rarely make them, or have any in the house, except at Christmas. Recently I made Cranberry Noels and Chocolate Chunk cookies. Both include my favorite nut, pecans. So far, I've done a good job of limiting my daily intake. I've also been reducing the size of my meals to help compensate for my high-calorie treats.
Nevertheless, I don't see escaping the holidays without gaining a few pounds. Thank goodness they only happen once a year.
