I thought I would pass along a really good cookie recipe to all of you.
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (i use whole wheat)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup butter, room temperature
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 cups uncooked rolled oats
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Beat together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla extract.
At low speed of mixer, beat in flour mixture, blending well.
Fold in oats, chocolate chips, and chopped nuts. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 2 hours.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls; place about 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets then flatten each cookie slightly. Bake at 350° for 10 to 12 minutes, or until set. Cool in on baking sheets for a minute then transfer cookies to racks to cool completely.
Makes about 4 dozen cookies.
 yum!

no. truly. put it back up unless one of the hall monitors talked to you behind the scenes. it's not like all you talk about is the fundraising. a few others here have done fundraising too and had stuff up for a while.

If you feel like trying the recipe here is an answer for the applesauce/butter substitute...
Applesauce is a terrific substitute for oil or butter. Anywhere from 3/4 cup to 1 cup of applesauce can be substituted for 1 cup of oil or butter. However, there isn''t a specific formula that I can give that guarantees success — finding the right ratio can often be trial and error. I find that most recipes really suffer from substituting 100% of the fat with applesauce. I often try using half of the fat called for and replacing the remaining half with applesauce — you get good results and still save quite a bit of fat per serving.
Here are a few tips for low-fat baking success:
Replace the 1 cup butter or oil with 3/4 cup applesauce, drained crushed pineapple, mashed ripe bananas (great in chocolate desserts) or a fruit butter, such as apple or pear.
Use cake flour or pastry flour instead of all-purpose flour. It will make cakes and cookies lighter in texture.
When a recipe calls for baking powder or soda, be sure to use the full amount and be sure it is fresh. Be very careful not to over mix the batter. Over mixing will make the final product dense and tough.
