Oh, I'm starting to understand your question now: or at least I think I do.

I made a batch of cookies last weekend; I served some to guests we had over, I shared some with friends at work, and I'm eating up the rest, a few cookies a day, after a meal. I go weeks without having them around, or I'll get on a baking kick and try out new recipes, like I'm doing now.

With "real" cookies they were either not in the house at all or eaten in a couple of days. But these cookies are different; they are not flour and sugar and industrial seed oil. These cookies are almonds, minimal amounts of sweeteners that don't mess with my blood sugar, and good fats.

They don't create carb cravings. I don't polish off a whole container at a time. I don't get frantic and have to make another batch.

With low carb cookies, I eat like a "normal" person eats cookies.
