Lazier Sunday

My day consisted of the NFC Championship game (YES GREEN BAY!!) then the AFC Championship (NOOOO JETS) and a lot of of lolling around in my bedroom. Oh, there was a smattering of chocolate chip cookies thrown in. Okay, more than just one smattering. Perhaps a few smatterings. In my defense, the box is labeled "The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies In The World!" They sit right up there with my favorite recipe (which I'm sure I'll share some time).

Cookies

I normally am staunchly against purchasing cookies because I know I can make better tasting and better for me (at least in terms of chemicals) at home; however, I sampled these a few months back and was hooked. They are dangerous and addicting and the ingredients are as follows: flour, chocolate chips, pecans, walnuts, eggs, brown sugar, sugar, butter, vanilla, baking soda. That's the same ingredient list (roughly) as the ones I make 0: And they are so damn tasty. And they didn't require me to lug all my baking stuff into my mom's kitchen and jostle for counter space for a couple hours to turn out a couple batches. I have weaknesses too. And this post IS labeled LAZIER SUNDAY.

Inside the box are three bags. For how much I love to bake, I surprisingly don't have a very large sweet tooth. Six of these bite-sized cookies (they're never bigger in diameter than a quarter) is one serving of 120 calories. I manage to keep each smattering to no more than one serving at a time. So maybe I ate twelve-ish cookies today, I think that's ok! Right..? ):

I'm hiding these cookies next to my bed, so no one else steals them. l:
