There are 2 things that do NOT go together. Dieting and Baking. I have really tried to set a personal goal this year to eat better, exercise and become an all around healthier person. I've been really good at the exercising part, but the eating better is such a struggle for me. Mostly because I LOVE to bake. If I would have figured this out earlier in my youth, I definitely would have gone to cooking school. But unfortunately, I really didn't discover my passion for baking until a few years ago. Already having a husband and one child, cooking school really didn't fit into my life anymore. So, I've just been teaching myself. But, loving to bake comes at a price. No, I don't have to eat everything I bake, but of course I have to try it! It wouldn't be any fun without the taste testing! Anyways, I've been trying to do everything in moderation, and hopefully since I am exercising everyday, it will all work out in the end. I also have a new obsession with cookbooks, and I recently bought The Taste of Home Cookbook

You won't believe this! I just posted a recipe for the same cookies taken from the same magazine and I photographed them the same way you did..stacked on top of each other. And all before I discovered your site. (I was checking if I was ranking for my keywords and your post came up in the search). I suppose great minds think alike!! hahaha.
