Living with only two people makes it silly to make a whole batch of cookies. Unless we want to weigh 300 pounds each by the end of the semester. Which, I don't think is looking like a future goal. So I decided to cut the recipe in half, it made 15 cookies. Perfect to leave some out and to throw some in the freezer to save for later.
