Seeing Tom's Cookie Monster impersonation made me LOL.
I then found this and feel SO much better about those that have been eaten before me.................

CHRISTMAS COOKIE RULES

If you eat a Christmas cookie fresh out of the oven, it has no calories because everyone knows that the first cookie is the test and thus calorie free.
If you drink a diet soda after eating your second cookie, it also has no calories because the diet soda cancels out the cookie calories.

If a friend comes over while you're making your Christmas cookies and needs to sample, you must sample with your friend. Because your friend's first cookie is calories free, rule #1 is yours also. It would be rude to let your friend sample alone and, being the friend that you are that makes your cookie calorie free.

Any cookie calories consumed while walking around will fall to your feet and eventually fall off as you move. This is due to gravity and the density of the caloric mass.

Any calories consumed during the frosting of the Christmas cookies will be used up because it takes many calories to lick excess frosting from a knife without cutting your tongue.

Cookies colored red or green have very few calories. Red ones have three and green ones have five - one calorie for each letter. Make more red ones!

Cookies eaten while watching "Miracle on 34th Street" have no calories because they are part of the entertainment package and not part of one's personal fuel.

As always, cookie pieces contain no calories because the process of breaking causes calorie leakage.

Any cookies consumed from someone else's plate have no calories since the calories rightfully belong to the other person and will cling to their plate. We all know how calories like to CLING!

Any cookies consumed while feeling stressed have no calories because cookies used for medicinal purposes NEVER have calories. It's a rule.

LOL Kobi, Whew, I feel a whole lot better about those 6 cookies I ate earlier!

Great... NO - Excellent time to post this, Kobi - seeing as I just finished making and baking about 10 dozen shortbread cookies last night!!!

Whew!!! Thanks for that info!!

What great news!! Eat on my friends, eat on!!!

Very important information! Thanks for sharing.

LOL --- you guys would all LOL if you saw the sad batch of choco/butterscotch cookies I made last night. OMG, I can't believe they came out so bad!!! They taste good but look bad -- that should REVERSE a few calories, no?

Looks are not as important as their absorbability. Do they soak up the milk or hot chocolate correctly?

Well.... the ones from the middle of the cookie sheet do but the ones from the outside are more on the crunchy side.
Me thinks it's time for a new oven
