Holiday cookies ~ tracking?

mochaphobic

How do we track holiday cookies or other treats when you don't know what they are? There were cookies and donuts after church today and my daughter brought me one home as a surprise. It was chocolate with a whipped cream topping (like a nest) and a couple choc. chips on top of the cream. I've never had one before so how do I count it?

Sounds almost like a Whoopie pie.... But I'd track it as one chocolate chip cookie, and whipped topping (Guesstamate the amount)

Find a cookie in the database that sounds similar. Log the whipped cream separately. Chocolate chips are about four calories per, so you can log that too if you want.

Just guesstimate and move on.

It came from church. God is a beautiful being so anything that comes from his house is calorie free. LOL. Just guesstimate. I'm sure there is something in the database that is similar.

Thanks everyone! With all the treats out there, I'm sure a lot of us will be guesstimating.

This doesn't work ~ it just defaults to my own recipe box but it's a good idea....
