    I need to buy more cookies and get back on this thing.. Life hit me like a tornado and I totally got off track, but I'm not going to let that happen this time. :)

    Where do I get a recipe for making anything less than two dozen cookies? :p I can never actually manage to eat just one because otherwise the other 23 are gonna go bad!

    ETA: found one to make 8. Still almost 350 calories for one freakin' cookie.

    Take them into your office/place of work/college/share them with your family. Sharing is caring and you will soon become very popular :)

    I was actually on a cookie diet awhile back, morning to night, I got sick of cookies after a week and craved regular food the way I did cookies.

    Just made me realize me wanting cookies was just my bodies way of telling me I'm eating too much " real " food, so what to do? Eat everything in moderation, one cookie is probably not enough, you're just teasing yourself lol.

    I am also one of those people who think cookies are meh :/
    Give me a slice of home made cake, especially Victoria Sandwich cake, that would be more like it :smiley:

    Fortunately, the cookie diet leaves plenty of room for substitutions! :smiley:

    This diet scares me. Especially if it in any way advocates the consumption of girl scout cookies. These inedible hockey pucks that you are suckered into buying must be stopped. They mix cardboard into the batter as filler, or at least they taste that way. Just say no to GSC!

    Happy to say I've never bought a Girl Scout cookie in my life! Of course, my dad worked for Keebler, so..... yeah, never had any lack of cookies. lol

    Cookies are usually made from calorie dense ingredients. Some claim to be lower calorie.

    You can scale the cookie recipe down yourself or many recipe sites have a feature to scale recipes. Sometimes you get odd amounts when you scale a recipe down. https://m.free-online-calculator-use.com/recipe-conversion-calculator.html

    You can mix up the dough for 24 cookies and freeze the portion you do not want to use yet. If you shape it into balls before freezing you can take out just a few to bake at a time.
