Often I substitute some plain yogurt for the fat. Keeps things moist. I did it for some of the butter in the grabbers. I used very little sweetener in my granola. The cookies were plenty sweet. I did the white wheat flour too. Love your rum soaked raisins!<BR/>NancyNancy/n.o.ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12870024363382414106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1727438125116959442.post-87227952992204759712008-08-28T03:13:00.000-05:002008-08-28T03:13:00.000-05:00Love all the variations you made on this recipe!I ...Love all the variations you made on this recipe!<BR/><BR/>I agree with you about too much sugar. Mixed feelings about butter -- I just love buttery cookies like shortbread. I never cut back with those! It's good to hear you can cut back with this recipe. I think I may try it with some of the upcoming cookie recipes, too.Bungalow Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10944360825235091121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1727438125116959442.post-47594517106295485962008-08-24T00:58:00.000-05:002008-08-24T00:58:00.000-05:00hmmmmmmmmm these look decandent . and they re on t...hmmmmmmmmm these look decandent . and they re on the healty side compared to other cookies :-) i agree with you ready made chocolate chips are really awful better tru relicious chcolate pieces. thanks for the recipe I like it alot.Snooky doodlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00310434713490902199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1727438125116959442.post-9334077039373179322008-08-23T21:56:00.000-05:002008-08-23T21:56:00.000-05:00Mmmmm.
