Bake Cookies and Still Cut Calories - Learn How to Avoid Gaining 10 Pounds This Christmas

When you open your favorite magazine, you see delicious Christmas cookie recipes. Stop by the grocery store and you can't avoid the special baking displays lined with brown sugar and cake mixes. Christmas means "start baking!" The old Pillsbury advertisement said it well, "Nothing says loving like something from the oven!" So how can a mother bake delightful treats for her children without gaining ten extra pounds in December?

1. Bake & Give. Make a list of the neighbors and friends you'd like to bless and then make up a plate for each household. Pull out your favorite recipes: sugar cookies, seven layer bars, chocolate peanut butter balls, and go to town! Have your kids help you bake and decorate your delicious cookies. By the time you get all your cookies wrapped up, there shouldn't be too many leftover. Just enough for you and your family to enjoy as a special treat, instead of a cookie invasion to last for weeks.

2. Freeze & Save. Freeze leftover cookies and enjoy them slowly in the New Year. They will keep perfectly delicious in your freezer for three months. If you receive lots of treats from different neighbors or co-workers, you can freeze those also. Just enjoy a few cookies and freeze the rest to enjoy in January, February and March. You can divvy up the cookies evenly among family members and bet on who can make the cookies last the longest.

3. Shop & Skip. When you're out grocery shopping, skip buying the gingerbread pound cake they're sampling, the egg nog, and the special holiday M&Ms. Don't buy any special treats for yourself or your family. There will be plenty of opportunities for treats at school Christmas parties, office parties, neighborhood parties...you get the picture.

You don't need to be a Scrooge and outlaw all cookies in December. But you can't say yes at every temptation or else you'll look like Santa Claus come New Year. So bake your favorite cookies, share them with your friends and loved ones, and enjoy the tastes of Christmas in moderation.
