What is one to do when one wants a cookie?
Bake some- but what if one does not want 3 dozen?
Buy some- but what if one does not need an entire box?
Buy one- but they are always enormous and one never anticipates wanting a cookie and therefore did not bring a ziploc bag to store the other half, hence that half gets eaten or folded back in the bag to become a purse cookie- or, more accurately, purse cookie crumbs punctuated by the occasional warm, smushy chocolate chip that globs itself onto some corner of your wallet or phone.
These are not acceptable solutions. Now, some people like to tell me that I can't eat desserts, but I like to direct them to my dietitian who is also a certified diabetes educator, who will very sweetly inform them otherwise. I can have a cookie. I have to think about that cookie, I have to plan for it, I have to measure it, and I have to time it right, but I can have a cookie. I can even have a few. I should not have 3 dozen.
I was super excited to find this bag of frozen cookie dough in the grocery store tonight. I'm sure I could have done this myself: avoided all chemicals, made the dough, portioned them out, frozen the bag, and let it sit there for 8 months like every other mysterious ziploc bag that's buried in my freezer, but instead I bought a bag of almost made cookies that's ready for me to bake one when I have a hankering for a warm cookie. It's inconvenient enough that I'll really have to want it and be willing to wait for it, but it's a nice option for single diabetic people.
