This comment is to address a few errors I made in this video. First, of course the baking powder and salt were 1/4 of a "teaspoon" not 1/4 of a "cup". Next, 5 x 6 = 30, and since I divided the dough into 6 piles instead of 5, which is what I intended, I should have made 5 cookies from each pile and not 6 cookies from each pile. Overall, this made very little difference, but made each cookie closer to 50 calories instead of the 56 calories given, so I wanted to let you know I did see the mistake as soon as I saw the video. ALSO, don’t forget to watch my video about STORING COOKIES, which is in the Tips and Tricks section of Recipes.

I marvel at your simple but powerful insights into protion control. Dividing the dough ahead of time before baked as much more accurate. Training the eye to recognize a proper portion is an ongoing task. Does it get easier over time- easier in judging and easier in accepting the truth of the smallness of it? Cookie bakers and eaters constantly underestimate the calorie count (myself included).

             Thank you Karen. Yes, I believe that it is easier now for me to judge and accept small portions. Years of forcing Honesty upon myself has made the truth easier to recognize. I still have those OLD thoughts...like if a cookie is broken it should have fewer calories...i.e. less desirable = less value which should equal less calories...But NOW I immediately recognize those thoughts as fantasies.
