Problem Solving

Here are some solutions to having too many cookies:

1. Eat a couple and then throw the rest away
     Pros: You feel successful for being so self disciplined
     Cons: Perfectly good cookies in the trash

2. Keep a couple for yourself and take the rest to work/share them with friends
     Pros: You feel successful for being self disciplined
              People at work will smile be happy
     Cons: You miss out on the taste of more cookies
               People at work curse you for making them fat

3. Eat all of the cookies over the span of 1-3 days
     Pros: Obviously, you get to eat all the cookies
              They are fresh
              They are delicious
              You feel happy as you munch
     Cons: Your pants are too tight
                You get a sugar bellyache

4. Freeze the cookies and spread out consumption over the next 1-6 months
     Pros: You get to eat all the cookies
              When you're craving a cookie, you don't have to go through the whole process of baking
     Cons: That monster named Freezerburn
               They rarely taste as good as fresh cookies

According to my calculations, the best option is #3. Stuff your face. It's just the right thing to do.
