So Hard...

Ummm.

They've revised the formula and the portion size so that the labels can read "zero grams trans fat per serving." That is NOT the same as trans fat free! All Crisco shortening contains fully and partially hydrogenated oils, which is the definition of trans fats. Plus, it's full of scary preservatives.

Well, fine. Thanks for the clarification. At least I'm using just half the fat of the regular Toll House recipe. I think I can live with the occasional chocolate chip cookie and not worry about killing myself with Crisco.

Has anyone tried to replace 1/2 the amount of oil/butter/crisco with the same amount of applesauce? I do that all the time with cakes and breads, but I don't think I have ever tried it with 'crisp' cookies. I have a die for soft oatmeal/raisin/chocolate chip cookie that I replace half the butter with applesauce and you cannot tell the difference.

Just wondered if it would work in other kinds of crunchy cookies.
