Chocolate Chip cookies are a breeze to make, and they are infinitely better
than the type that come in a package. But baking can be deadly. I worked
hard to lose weight without dieting last year. I went to the gym faithfully
and rode my bike at least 10 miles a day, often much further. Then when it
started getting cold I started baking again after a number of years of
enduring store bough baked goods. Big mistake.
