Hi
I've conjured up my own recipe for low fat banana coconut oatmeal cookies. They taste GREAT just out of the oven but instead of turning into the yummy soft cookie after a day or so they go too soft and lose every bit of crunchiness. This is what i use:
3 bananas mushed
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
1/2 tsp coconut essence
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter
1.5 cups wholewheat flour
1.5 cups oats
1 cup coconut
1 tsp baking powder
i then add coconut cream if the dough is too dry so i get a sticky dough
i have to cook them for a while on low temp, otherwise they dont get crunchy at all. i cooked them at 150 degrees C for almost 30 mins.
as i said, the crunchy outsides and soft middles are delicious but they dont keep, they just go really soft.
i realise this isnt a traditional cookie recipe because i'm trying to keep them low fat/low sugar for my diet
what is it that makes cookies crunchy? lots of butter?
