Whoo boy, can I relate to your dilemma!

Every year I ride in at least one fund raiser. One of my incentives is to offer a batch of three dozen homemade chocolate chip cookies every other month for a year in exchange for a $500 donation. The good news is, it works. I always get at least a couple takers. The bad news is, I bake a lot of cookies. There are always leftovers after the donor's packages are packed up.

Fortunately, DH is a naturally slim guy who can eat up what's left. I, on the other hand, gain weight sniffing the aroma of baking cookies. Resisting those warm right-from-the-oven cookies is fairly futile for me, so I admire your ability to limit yourself to one a day .

FWIW, I have tinkered with the basic Toll House recipe to lower the fat content. You really need to have a stand mixer or a food processor that you can pulse for this to work. Use just 1/2 c. Crisco (no trans fats) in place of 1 c. butter or margarine. I use the Toll House brand mini-sized chips. For some reason they work better than the full-sized ones because the dough is heavier. The trade off is in taste if you prefer the better chocolate brands like Ghirardelli or Guittard. They also get stale more quickly, but freeze well.
