Ooooh I know what you mean. Chocolate chip cookies are soooo delicious and tempting and the smell, oh the smell! It sounds like you're doing really well though and have balanced plan by allowing some non-negotiables. Three pounds is awesome!
Your sugar thread really got me thinking about my sugar intake, too. I definitely need to be more mindful of what I'm eating (especially processed stuff and sugar) and I'm pretty sure I'd lose the weight that's been hanging around.
Oh great now I really want a chocolate chip cookie!

OMG, you are a machine!
There is NO WAY I could bake chocolate chip cookies (or pretty much any cookies, for that matter) and not eat them. I think that eating only one is even worse since now you know how delicious they are!!
When I'm watching my intake, baking is the first thing I give up. I have no control around baked goods. None.

Me either! When I am trying not to eat my baked goods the only thing I can make is German Chocolate cake. DH loves it, I do not but a whole cake is too much for just him.Amanda

My partner, in her grade school years, was told "have a cookie, it'll make you feel better". Good ol mom!
so here it is. Rejects. came out really dry
was asked. forget anything? no. butter? no. orange juice? no. eggs? no... This batch is smaller than what I'm used to making. I was also out of my premixed flour/powder/salt mixture so I had to make a small batch.
So if I had used the right amount of butter, OJ, and eggs, why did the cookie come out so dry instead of moist, soft and chewy. It browned at lower temperature and in shorter amount of time...
It took some time but I realized it had twice the baking powder. oops
And this was for a small order to be delivered TODAY!! Oh I did make it in time. barely.
This batch will be disposed of at my regular day job. Full of engineers. Mikey loves everything!
We tried it. Not going to sell this batch. The taste is off, color is wrong and texture is all very wrong.
