My Kookie Cookie Theory

Cookies can be good for you! You just have to eat healthy cookies. It is easy. When baking your cookies choose healthy ingredients to put into them. Or as mama would say........just bake tons and tons of love into them.

There are a lot of little tips that will help you make healthier cookies....

When recipes call for lard or margarine, use non-hydrogenated margarine, this will reduce or eliminate those very unhealthy trans fats.

Reduce the amount of sugar that the recipe calls for by at least one quarter. The cookies will taste just as good if not better.

Use walnuts to replace pecans or almonds.

Use Raisins or cherry bits to replace chocolate chips or candied jujubes.

Use 1% milk instead of evaporated milk and your fat content reduces substantially.

Make healthy food choices - Choose recipes calling for oatmeal and fruit or other healthier options.

Of course this theory of mine is just an excuse for me to eat as many cookies as I can.

I can't help it. I'm addicted to them.

They tempt me. They taunt me. Counseling hasn't helped. I cannot walk by the cookie jar without tasting at least one cookie! If the cookie jar is empty then I start baking.

I love them. I crave them. I am addicted to them.

I'm pitiful!
