Q & A: What can I substutite for solid shortning in oatmeal cookies?
in
When it comes to baking changing ingredients can be very tricky. The
best alternative to solid shortening is butter. Although many people
may feel that butter is not a healthy alternative it really is the
best because the consistency helps the ingredients meld together.
If you are looking for a "healthy" oatmeal cookie the best option is
to start with a lighter version recipe.
If you decide to bake with butter just remember that having a cookie
is okay, it's all about how many cookies you have that matters.
Thanks for your question!
