This seems so familiar, is it in a SG cookbook? I have to move those cookbooks to a more convenient spot.  They got stashed in a back cupboard after DD1 starting all this cake decorating stuff. (Oooh, I know! It's bad, bad, bad. But she's making a bit of $$ with that endeavor.) Also, I've got some flaxseed that I was using in little spa wrap thingys. Eye pillow and neckwrap sort of things. The flaxseed has been in my cupboard for oh say ......6 - 8 months.  Does it have a shelf life? |

Our Favorite Chocolate Chip Variation
Use 3 ½ cups fresh Soft White Wheat Flour.
Omit Oatmeal.
Use 1 ½ cups of Shredded Unsweetened Coconut in place of chopped almonds.

substitute the date sugar for both sucanats and the oat flour for the whole wheat flour or you could use whole wheat flour...Any questions, just ask.

what is sucanet? im assuming its a sugar substitute of some sort since i can replace it with date sugar.
since i can add coconut...what about the concentrate? hmmm..think im going to do a bit of expermenting tomorrow lol. then figure out if they will bother my blood sugars or not..hopefully not because they will have flax seed and coconut lol.
and im feeling about wee small right now. i dont know much about anything lol

Sucanat is dried cane juice. It will definitely drive your sugars up, so don't use it. Let me know how the experimenting goes. If it were me, I would use some coconut concentrate in place of some of the butter since it is so oily. Otherwise you will get flat cookies
