I want to make chocolate chip cookies but cut out some of the fat by replacing half or all of the butter, can I just do 50/50 w/ natural applesause and butter?

That should work. Make sure to keep an eye on the liquid or add more flour if needed. You can also add some coconut oil, which is healthy fat.

Thanks, i tried it and it seemed to work. I used Gluten Free Pantry Chocolate chip cookie mix, and replaced 5 tablespoons of butter w/ 2.5 tbsp and 2.5 tbsp of nayural applesauce, also I replaced the two eggs w/ 1/2 cup of egg beaters. They are so yummy!

Are they gooey like real choc chip cookies or are they more cakey? I like the gooey kind and miss the real ones and would like to have one every once in awhile! Thanks....

Yogurt can work as a sub as well, in some cookies.

They're more on the cakey side, but for a bit of gooey-ness you can try adding chocolate chunks.

another way to get a crisper cookie is to beat air into the batter then chill. did it by mistake on a cookie that way suppose to be creamy but beat too long and got crisp and crunchy . Our flours seem to reacte alittle diffrent I'm finding.

There are a lot of recipes that use only applesauce or a combination of applesauce and vegetable oil.

I know that alot of people do use applesauce. Some say the ratio is 50/50 unless your in high altitudes

I prefer yo use Earths Balance- soy garden spread. I can use it just like margarine or butter. It makes no difference if I am baking or frying. I also use All Natural Grapeola grape seed oil. I have tried various forms of olive oil , cannot stand the after taste and I prefer grapeseed oil. I also use grape seed oil VEGANASE SPREAD. I use this instead of mayo. Both grape seed products have been the reason my husbands cholesterol of 377 is now a manageable 174. The medicine alone only brought his count down to 297. he is now eating a gluten free diet, since it is easier for me. i hope this helps.

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?
    • Scott Adams
      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
