I'm sorry, I noticed the original recipe I included for the $250 Neiman Marcus Chocolate Chip Cookie is not the recipe I typically use which includes oat flour (blended oats). Here is the correct recipe which makes a large quantity of cookies. You can cut the recipe in half or bake and freeze the extra cookies. Again, I would suggest mixing the white flour with soy flour, reducing the sugar, using Smart balance or canola butter in place of all butter, and using sugarfree chocolate chips and chocolate bar.

My favorite tip regarding milk is to always buy whole milk but dilute it with half water to get half the carbs and half the price. There isn't much of a difference in carbs between whole milk, 2%, skim etc. There is a difference in the fat content and the taste. A cup of whole milk contains about 12 carbs as does skim etc. the difference in carbs is very minimal and the price of the milk is pretty similar. You could use two cartons to dilute your milk but I prefer to dilute it as needed. If a recipe calls for 1 c milk, I'll pour 1/2 c whole milk into a measuring cup and add 1/2 c water. Essentially what I end up with is close to 2% milk. I use this ratio whenever milk is called for in my house. I use it for cereal, cooking, baking etc. We find the taste is comparable to 2% and no one has ever complained or noticed the difference. Its cut our milk costs in half. Its cut our milk carbs in half.
