Something Sweet To Start

I have a sweet tooth. I have tried hard to ignore it, to push it out of my mind but ultimately, I give in to my desires and start baking. The only bonus is that after all the hard work of baking, I tend not to over eat the baked goods. However, my husband does. I will say this cookies are soooo yummy raw, that I do take a few nibbles of the cookie dough.
