Speaking of baking, a recipe calling for two cups of good old king arthur unbleached flour, and 1/2 of cane sugar,

will yield about two dozen cookies.  Thing is, many recipes call for twice the sugar.  Anyway, did some figuring: 24 cookies with a 1/2 cup of sugar; 12 cookies would contain 1/4 cup; 6 cookies 1/8 cup; 3 cookies 1/16th of a cup of sugar.  Looking at a 1/2 cup stick of butter, there are 8 tablespoons in that stick; that means 3 cookies contain 1 tablespoon of sugar.  One cookie contains one teaspoon of sugar.  

Oh to think, with regular recipes, that ONE cookie (oh comeon, normal people want two, maybe even three) would contain two teaspoons of sugar - two!  Uhm, one is more more than enough.

Going to experiment with cutting the half to a third.  Oh, and any fako sweeteners?...so out of the question - stuff is poison.

But even sticking with 1/2 cup, here's the deal.  People have told me, they really like the cookies i make.  That tells me, people are just FINE without the insane amounts of sugar that go into things.  And yeah, a few think my stuff needs sugar; but most people like the cookies.
