xxxxxxxx
i use cake flour; same amount
i use 1/2 c of butter and 1/2 c of unsweetened applesauce

Steps:

  • 1. Pre-heat oven to 350* Melt blue bonnet, set aside to cool. Combine dry ingredients into a med. bowl, set aside.
  • 2. In a large bowl Beat blue bonnet and sugars by hand until combined.
  • 3. Add eggs and vanilla. Beat until well blended.

  • 5. CHANGES: The first change I made was: 1/2 cup of softened (not melted) butter and 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce both and the eggs at room temp.This reduces the amount of fat per cookie and increases the fiber a bit....you can not taste it. 2nd Change: Use Cake flour instead of All Purpose Flour.....You can make you own using DIY Cake Flour by Candy Hummer, found here on JAP. 3rd Change: compliments of Annette AKA greeneyz Chill the dough, and spoon (I use a cookie scoop) over night or at least several hours....and between each loading of the cookie sheets. Only place cookie dough on completely cooled cookie sheets.
