Personally, I didn't love them enough to make them again. But, they all disappeared when I brought them to work.<br /><br />I too used the organic, non hydrogenated shortening (I think the brand is Spectrum).

I believe that high fructose corn syrup has gone through more processing to make it even sweeter than regular corn syrup. In small amounts, corn syrup is useful at controlling texture and eliminating sugar crystallization.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05101977301861885022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11679575.post-89444800803956756592010-02-22T07:23:04.589-05:002010-02-22T07:23:04.589-05:00Well, shoot, those don't look so great. You...Well, shoot, those don't look so great. You're right: no spread. But all sharded up like that? I remember the cookies being crisp--but I think I may have to send Bruce back into the kitchen on that one, just to give it a once-over on our end. Sharding? Doesn't sound so great to me.Mark Scarbroughhttp://www.realfoodhascurves.comnoreply@blogger.com
