In an attempt to keep going with the Healthy Cookie Experiment, I thought I'd try the Orange Butter Cookie recipe again, only put a twist on it. I thought a hint of lime instead of orange sounded delicious, so I wanted to give it a shot. I also went out and got Splenda sugar substitute, to start experimenting with.
Needless to say, I will experimenting for awhile with Splenda. The cookies did not have the same texture at all: the dough was not nearly as moist in the end, which translated to broken, crumbly cookies coming out of the oven. I haven't even offered one to anyone yet, because I'm afraid of how dry they are.
I will be researching baking with Splenda, and hopefully figuring it out, so that I can power through this Healthy Cookie Experiment!

Aww, that's no fun! :( Darn splenda! Doesn't it say you can bake with it? Have you tried that new sugar sub? It supposedly doesn't have aspartame.
I used to make a low carb cheesecake with a splenda/sugar mixture and crushed almonds for the crust!!!!! It was delicious.
I know ince creams with splenda are pretty successful but think with baking its difficult to substitute sugar without compromising the consistency.
