I have been doing this for about 3 months now. We also only have a sweet baked once every 2 weeks. I have tried several recipes and Im still tweaking them as well. I would love to find a really good cookie recipe using honey or maple syrup. Im going to start playing around with my recipes as well. So far I have tried a whole wheat honey sweetened jiffy cake and it was good, as well as some quick breads but not any cookies. THANK YOU so much for these sugar post they are extremely helpful!<br />JoyJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06318297692355589988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-42914022174071619542012-04-21T21:23:33.710-04:002012-04-21T21:23:33.710-04:00I haven't worried about sweeteners. I usually...I haven't worried about sweeteners. I usually just reduce the sugar quite a bit. Most pancake recipes, for example, have sugar in them. I never put sugar in my pancakes anymore.<br /><br />Also, my family eats very little high-fructose corn syrup because I make so many things from scratch. I am much more concerned about processed foods from factories than I am about sugar in what I bake at home.<br /><br />I'll continue to read your experiments with interest, however!Margohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345165456341197559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-38358999562455483712012-04-21T09:10:01.463-04:002012-04-21T09:10:01.463-04:00Hi Gina - I have found the sugar posts very intere...Hi Gina - I have found the sugar posts very interesting. I started looking at the brown sugar I just happened to select from our supermarket and found it to be unrefined - I would not have known that it was slightly healthier without having read Regina's information. The flapjacks I bake have half the butter in them when honey instead of syrup and sugar are used - could you cut the butter in your cookies down by half? My family usually like everything I bake - like yours they just wolf it down!!

I still use sugar but have honey & maple syrup on hand and know that they are really what I should be using - it was just too daunting to try and revamp a recipe! So I love that Regina has done the leg-work and shared the chart on how to substitute in recipes. <br />Now I feel like it is something that I might really be able to master! Thanks so much for having her share this information!Lynitanoreply@blogger.com
