In the next few weeks most of you will be surrounded by cookies in one way or another. Whether through a work function, a party you attend or host, a cookie exchange, or your own holiday baking, we will have access to more doughy confections than any other time of the year. I’m not a huge calorie counter myself, and prefer just approaching the season with an attitude of moderation. But I know a lot of you like to be more precise with your dieting methods, so that you don’t end up with Santa’s belly by new year’s day. So, I’ve compiled a cookie calorie count list to refer to as you munch your way through the holidays!
