I saw this recipe in a cookbook at borders and searched zaar and found it! i love the fact that this had no egg in it! the cookies were cakey and soft and fluffyish. I used strawberry yogurt, it was all i had, it imparted a very mild taste, barely noticeable! i also halved this recipe, but i will most likely make them again! i used half butter half oil and i will try using whole wheat flour next time and making this into an icecream cookiedough batter.

This is a wonderful cookie recipe. It does not have any eggs, yet you don't feel like there is something missing or that there is a funny texture or taste due to a foreign ingredient being a replacer. The cookies were chewy also. I used butter instead of margarine and shortening - but other than that I didn't have to add anything. The cookies were perfect!

Strangely enough, I've become a better cook to lose weight. I joined eDiets and lost 100 pounds. Now I'm on the look out for tasty recipes that are easy to fix (I teach and often don't get home until after 5PM).
In addition to my kitchen, my favorite place is my garden. I have a combination flower/herb/veggie garden and love to grow a variety of vintage or unusual plants.
Because I teach I actually DO get a month off. I get up early to garden, sleep the hot afternoons away, then cook, read and watch movies.
My favorite cookbooks are Crazy Plates and Looneyspoons. They are full of delicious, lowfat recipes with tons of trivia and humor.
I teach science in a converted home ec kitchen. I love to use food as a teaching tool - making cheese to teach enzyme action, pickles to teach osmosis and diffusion, fudge to demonstrate igneous rock formation.
I love kitchen gadgets, KitchenAid, Le Creuset cookware and my cats.
