You're welcome !! I can't wait to see the new cookie recipe everyday - 24 new recipes will be nice for the coming year!! I love Cooking Light's recipes - but some of them are still a little too high in fat for me. That's why I'll always post what changes I would make. If you see any changes you would make - please let us know!! I like to see other's ways of lowering calories and fat!!
