Light Life: Low fat oatmeal cookies
Reducing fats in baked goods is difficult, without question. The reason that so many recipes involve copious amounts of butter and sugar is that they taste best that way. Shortbread without butter is just a cracker and a pecan pie without sugar is just a bunch of nuts. Since baking is actually more science – a delicious science - than not, each ingredient in a recipe has a role to play, so changing them can adversely effect the outcome you are trying to achieve when your real goal is to indulge without expanding your waistline.
Fats in particular are important. They are important to dieters and they are important to bakers. Light Life, which is a new feature here at Slashfood, is going to take a look at lightened and low fat recipes, as well as at some commercially avaliable products, like baking mixes.
Valentine's Cookies - Chocolate and Walnut
While they may lack the aesthetic daintiness of Nicks Raspberry Thumbs these simple to bake Chocolate and Walnut cookies taste just superb. The recipe is adapted slightly from one sent to me by French food blogger Cindy from Montpellier. As part of the Euro Blogging by Post parcel exchange I received the recipe and ingredients to make these; and damn nice they were to. So good in fact I thought I would give them another go for the Slashfood bake-off. The original recipe used a mix of dark and white chocolate. I substituted walnuts for the white chocolate.
