How many times have you wanted just a cookie and were left with a few dozen after making a batch of homemade cookies? The recipe for Half Batch Triple Chocolate Cookies only makes 18 cookies.
Homemade cookies are so much better than store bought, but a batch of homemade cookies makes generally 2-3 dozen cookies. In my house, we end up having cookies go to waste because we get tired of them after a while. You can freeze cookie dough and save it for another time, but I just like to bake them and get it over with.

Altering recipes to make smaller batches takes some brain power, which I don't always want to use. Math skills from elementary school come into play when you have to work with fractions. Sometimes measurements can not easily be cut in half. For example, ⅓ cup of sugar can not be cut in half exactly, so then you need to play around with the recipe a bit.
Half Batch Triple Chocolate Cookies was pretty easy to create because it was a new recipe. I have played with cutting my other favorite cookie recipe, Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies in half and you have to use half an egg!
My 13-year-old son found the cookies and loved them, which of course made Momma happy. My happiness disappeared quickly when I realized he didn't leave many for us!
