D oughy, crispy, chocolate chip
with almonds or oatmeal with
coconut — the happiness of
my existence depends upon the con
sumption of those tasty baked goods
known as cookies.
Unfortunately, I am also one of
; those, "Well, I’ll just have one,” kind
of people who only can avoid the sti
fling guilt of overindulgence by par
taking of a single one of these
scrumptious treats.
What is a cookie lover to do?
The answer is obvious: bake one,
gigantic cookie.
One does not need to go to a
pricey specialty store or an expensive
bakery to satisfy that inner Cookie
Monster. A giant cookie can be made
in the privacy of one’s home with a
few simple ingredients and a 14-inch
pizza pan.

What is the difference?
There is actually very little differ
ence between the preparation of a gi
ant cookie and a normal batch of
cookies. The amounts in the recipe are
remeasured to fit into a 14-inch pan
and (after much trial and enor) allow
for the most even baking, since the
biggest problem with its preparation
is not completely cooking the center.
The recipe also notably excludes
lard or shortening, but, hey, if you
want some lard in your cookies, you
put lard in your cookies (yummy).
In a pinch, store-bought cookie
mix can be used, but expect it to
come out extra crispy on the sides
and extra doughy in the middle.
Large cookies are most popular
among those who prefer something
less conventional than cake for cele
brations, such as birthdays or an
niversaries. The cookies are greatly
complimented with ice cream and
can be decorated just like a normal
cake, but without the extra mess of
frosting the entire thing.
Besides, it is a giant cookie. Noth-

Get into the mix
In a large bowl, beat the butter,
sugar, brown sugar and vanilla until
the mixture is light and fluffy. Then
add the eggs, one at a time, making
sure to continue beating the mixture
well enough to keep the loose texture.
Gradually add the flour, salt and
baking soda. Once that is all well-
blended, stir in the chocolate and
whatever else you would like. Some
people prefer to use normal chocolate
chips; however, I find that adding a
broken-up large chocolate bar not
only allows for huge deposits of
gooey, delicious chocolate to form,
but also keeps the final product look
ing as if it were just a larger scale mod
el of a normal chocolate-chip cookie.
Once this is all mixed, you have
raw cookie dough — better known as
a cookie lover’s answer to crack. It is
important to keep in mind that this
mixture contains raw eggs which
may harbor sahnpnella and other
nasty bacteria. It is understandable to
take a couple of bites (Who could re
sist?), but overindulging is likely to
leave you without enough dough to
cover the pan, and it may even result
in a trip to the emergency room.

- A Student's Guide to Healthy Eating
Lisa T, Boston University.
Hi Lisa,
This is a great question that affects a lot of
women at the college level, whether they
are freshmen or seniors. Although you
shouldn’t spend too much time obsessing
about your diet, here are some simple things
to remember when you sit down to a meal
or grab a snack:
A hamburger doesn’t have to be a guilty
pleasure. Red meat can be a healthy part
of your diet as long as you don’t eat it ®
every day Try turkey burgers or chicken
tacos as an alternative.
Don’t skip meals (including breakfast).
Grab a granola bar, a container of yogurt,
or a bagel if you don’t have time to sit
down and eat. Running on empty is bad
for your metabolism and can adversely
affect your ability to concentrate. In fact,
eating five or six small meals (instead of
two or three big ones) each day will
increase your metabolism and help your
body burn calories even if you’re just sit
ting in class!
Try to have some low fat or skim milk
once a day. Women are particularly in
need of calcium during their college years
to build bone mass and avoid osteoporosis
(weak bones) later in life. If you don’t
want to drink a glass of milk, remember
that yogurt or milk on your cereal counts
as well.
X Remember that fad diets don’t work. Even
if everyone in the dorm swears that the
all-broccoli diet is the fast track to skinny
thighs, remember that it’s never a good
idea to deprive your body of any food
group. Eating in moderation is the key to
a healthy diet.
X Always grab a piece of fruit or carrot stick
when you’re leaving the dining hall. Even
if you don’t want it right away, keep it in
your room or backpack for a snack. Keep
low-fat snacks like pretzels, graham
crackers, trail mix. or raisins in you room
for late night munchies so you won’t be
as likely to order pizza or raid the
candy machine.
Do you suffer from bloating and cramping
during your period? Sugar, alcohol, and
caffeine have been shown to increase the
severity of RMS and menstrual symptoms.
To help you feel better during this time,
make sure you drink plenty of water,
snack on fruit, and eat nutritious foods.
Another way to feel comfortable is to use
Playtex tampons - they really are so com
fortable you can’t even feel them.
X Finally, there will be plenty of opportuni
ties for late-night ice cream, between-
class candy bars, and emergency fast food
runs. You don’t have to stay away from
these things all the time, just listen to your
body and keep your diet as
balanced as possible.
So comfortable
you can’t even feel them}
