Because I was having a bad day.
And because eating a few cookies packed with jumbo chocolate chips and peanut butter and cinnamon seemed like it might make me feel a bit better.
You know what? It did. So I ate the other thirty-eight.
Believe it...or not!

I'm sure many of us are guilty of letting a whole lot of something make us feel better. I'm sure if I had those cookies this crappy weekend I would have indulged too. Pass the chocolate would you?

I did the same thing last week with my fix of choice, homemade Tollhouse chocolate chip cookies. I ended up feeling worse when my favorite jeans were a bit too tight.

Nerissa -- your comment made me laugh out loud! I love it. I also ate four pieces of pizza last night. Ugh!
Tracy -- the key is to have a range of jeans, some all nice and stretched out and waiting for the cookie binge days!

Why not, I say! There is scientific evidence that dark chocolate improves mood...

A little (or a LOT) of chocolate won't hurt you when you're feeling stressed. Believe me, I speak from experience!!!!!!1

Catherine - I am missing your picture beaming back at me on the home page. I keep on thinking I have gone to the wrong blog.

LisaSD and Mom -- see, you have the right idea!
Sam -- nope, I just got bored and switched things up. It's nice to know you miss my mug, though...

I DO miss it - I loved that picture. Please bring it back, else I am going to have to tape one of you onto my flat screen monitor

Sam -- whatever you must do, dearie; for now the berries will have to be a fair enough likeness!

I made some of these cookies this week. Yummy! except the cinnamon is throwing me off a little. I might try them without it next time.
Happy Baking!
