Walking at a moderate pace uses about 5 calories per minute, or an hour to burn off those 2 cookies. So bear in mind, every calorie you go above and beyond your target intake (to lose weight, figure ~2600 for your weight, and decreasing as you lose weight) you need to get rid of it somehow.

The next batch I made were a little cakier as a result. I think they were good without the egg too though.

When my girlfriend started Weight Watchers with me, I thought I was going to explode because of all the vegetables that we were required to eat every day; couldn't even think about munching on anything else for weeks.

It does change the consistency a little bit, I think the food ends up a little denser.
