Christmas Eve

I may have a cookie baking addiction.  :)  I always bake cookies on a regular basis, but I have baked oodles of cookies over the past few weeks. I made some old standby's - chocolate crinkles, peanut butter kiss cookies, chocolate chippers, fudge drop cookies, and frosted sugar cookies. I  also made a few new ones - No Bake Cookies, Oreo Truffles and Toasted Pecan, White Chip & Toffee cookies.

The White Chip cookies are fabulous and so are the Oreo Truffles. I had enjoyed eating the truffles before but never made them myself. The White Chip Recipe was new to me. I read it on Baking Blonde's blog and it sounded so yummy I had to try it. I love homemade cookies and store bought cookies just cannot compare! I haven't binged on the cookies (or dough) at all, but have been allowing myself two a day with a half glass of skim milk. Yum!


I don't know if I have lost any more lbs but my jeans feel considerably looser. It may be the exercise kicking in. 


We had family over for dinner tonight and I ate a super small  portion of dinner in order to enjoy a little dessert.  I figure it is all about balance. Tomorrow I think I should be able to fit in a workout. 


Merry Christmas Everyone!
