Use a bigger spoon or add more nuts and the calories go up. When baked, the cookies are crunchy and delicious. Could anyone eat just one? Not me. Eat two and you double the calories. Eat five and you have taken in one-fourth of your 2,000 or so calories for the day." - Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.)
