Notes: The cookies have 70.4 calores (42.7% from fat) and 3.4g fat each.
They were delicious and easy to make.
The Chef’s Comments: “Yesterday i took a cookie recipe that I wanted to
try, and I made exactly according to the recipe (it was great!) and then I
made another batch, using the Prune Butter technique. For cookies, the book
suggests replacing all of the fat with Prune Butter, and removing as much
sugar as 1/2 to 2/3 the amount of Prune Butter used, to keep sweetness
consistent witht he original recipe. The low-fat recipe was a difficult
texture to work with, and they didn’t spread out nicely when cooking. They
remained little clumps. But they did taste very good. I have a hard time
telling the difference between the two, believe it or not. Who would have
thought substituting prunes for crisco was a wise choice??” – Lisa
