So, my older son just came down the stairs and told me I needed to make cookies today for Santa (I totally spaced that one!), so I asked them what type. He said, "Chocolate Chip." We do in fact make chocolate chip cookies for Santa every year, because they are "Santa's" favorites...but, if you haven't noticed, I haven't made chocolate chip cookies yet, since our diet change. So, I set out this afternoon to convert our favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe, and it turned out quite well, if you take the boys each downing 3 cookies a piece in less then 10 minutes, a success. :) So, Santa, we are ready for you, I hope you like

What is palm oil shortening? Do you think I can I use coconut oil instead?
ReplyDeletePalm Oil Shortening is a shortening (so it's a solid fat) made from palm oil. I buy the Spectrum brand, because I can find it in the organic section of my grocery store. You can use coconut oil instead, one for one.
ReplyDeleteCan you use any vegetable shortening?
ReplyDeleteIf you don't have issues with soybean oil, you can go ahead and use vegetable shortening instead of the palm oil shortening.
