Cookie transgression

How do you bake cookies without tasting them? Sure. I shouldn't be baking cookies. Because I cannot do it without tasting them. But I am baking cookies. Double chocolate ones. For a party. To be served with ice cream. Double whammy. I planned to assess their doneness by visual inspection but, alas, I succumbed to the smell of buttery chocolaty cookies. So far I've only eaten one. I intend to freeze them until Sunday. Frozen chocolate cookies taste pretty good, though.
