Certainly not the cheaper option but what's a few dollars when you are thinking about your health!!!
I'm not sure about this...I think personally, just cut back your intake
Probably better for you
BUT let's not cut out all treats
So with the "Slight" Health Benefit in mind, I made this family favourite
I used Date Paste for the substitute in the cookies
and popped the Coconut Sugar into the blender to get to the consistency of Icing Sugar
It worked, just a more expensive option
For a cheaper option, Just use same quantities of sugar and ordinary icing sugar
The Date Paste should be available in any good supermarket
For the cookies
200 gms butter
1/2 cup Date Paste
1 1/4 cups Standard Plain Flour
1/4 cup Cocoa
2 cups Cornflakes
Chocolate Icing
1 cup Icing Sugar or Substitute Coconut Sugar
1/2 Tablespoon Cocoa
Knob of butter
1 tablespoon (approx) Hot Water
Few drops Vanilla Essence
Chopped Walnuts (Optional)
Cream Butter and Date paste until light and fluffy
Sift Flour and Cocoa
Stir into creamed mixture
Fold in cornflakes
Spoon mounds of mixture onto a greased oven tray
gently pressing down with a fork
Bake at 180C for 15 - 20 minutes or until set
When cold ice with chocolate icing and decorate with chopped walnuts if desired
Recipe says Makes around 20 - 24
I got 16 so allow for that
I got 16 so allow for that
For the Icing
We made the icing using coconut sugar
Just pop the coconut sugar into your Blender to get to the consistency of icing sugar
Just mix all the ingredients together to the consistency that works for you
Probably have to sift the sugar like you do with Icing sugar but not mandatory !
