I tried making chocolate chip cookies using xylitol and my own homemade xylitol brown sugar. What a royal flop that was. Apparently, xylitol and cookies just don't agree with each other, which is a shame. The cookies came out mealy, tasted weird, and they all kind of puddled together in my cookie sheet to create a huge mass of cookies gone terribly wrong.
I'm back to searching for sugar alternatives for cookies. Honey doesn't work, as it changes the texture of the batter too much. Artificial sweeteners are out, because they are just not healthy. I'm thinking to try raw sugar next. It's not the healthiest alternative out there, and too much of it is still as bad as white sugar, but it's not refined and stripped of all its natural minerals.
I think I can feel another shopping trip coming on, along with a foray through my cookbooks to see what I can play around with.
Stay tuned and have a great day!
