They use whole wheat pastry flour, which I think isn't as coarse as regular ww flour, and the other ingredients (i.e., raw sugar and peanut butter) may mask any textural differences caused by the ww flour.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11194828903719000019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-1152783074616748292006-07-13T05:31:00.000-04:002006-07-13T05:31:00.000-04:00These look great! does using whole wheat flour aff...These look great! does using whole wheat flour affect how it atste at all?Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09206824648193328421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-1152704741885671152006-07-12T07:45:00.000-04:002006-07-12T07:45:00.000-04:00Hi Rowena!

In her mind it's a gimic - higher priced but inferior quality (i.e. bug holes, etc.). And I have to admit, if the only organic produce I ever saw was that offered in the grocery store, I'd be of like mind!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11194828903719000019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-1152690568289085332006-07-12T03:49:00.000-04:002006-07-12T03:49:00.000-04:00That natural style of pb reminds me so much of my ...That natural style of pb reminds me so much of my mother---I remember how she insisted on buying organic, natural products as much as possible, no matter if it was a wee bit of an inconvenience to stir the separated oil back into the pb!<BR/><BR/>RYC: About the sage, yes they are tenacious buggers and seem to survive above all else!Rowenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15335673619430109527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-1152589897420708172006-07-10T23:51:00.000-04:002006-07-10T23:51:00.000-04:00Hi Jocelyn - thanks!

I don't think I'd ever had a crunchy peanut butter cookie until I first tried this one, but turns out I love them too!<BR/><BR/>Hi Elijah - thanks so much! I use some software called Living Cookbook. You enter your recipe, link each ingredient to one in the ingredient database, and then click a button and voila - nutrition info! It's not very expensive and I find it easy to use. I know I've seen some nutrition information on other blogs - the one that comes to mind is <A HREF="http://wordstoeatby.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Words to Eat By</A>.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11194828903719000019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-1152571641342726852006-07-10T18:47:00.000-04:002006-07-10T18:47:00.000-04:00Cathy- Thank you for writing this blog! I absolute...Cathy- <BR/>Thank you for writing this blog! I absolutely enjoy the thourough, methodological way you are going through the cookbook page by page, cookie by cookie, following each recipe precisely so that it's easier to see what went wrong- what puts the blog over the top of the excellence scale for me though is that you include nutrition information for each and every recipe you post. Do you calculate the nutrition yourself, or does Maida do it for you? <BR/>Now, the other thought I had was that I love your posts, but I need recipes to tide me over in between Mondays!! I went through many of your "favorite places" links, but I couldn't find anyone who even bothered with nutrition information let alone is half as precise as you are (no disrespect intended to those other bloggers, of course). So in your web travels, have you come across many other blogs like yours, with nutrition information and careful, precise measurement? Doesn't even need to be just desserts, in fact might even prefer savory dishes to counterbalance all the fantastic cookies I need to try now, courtesy of you and Maida :) <BR/>Again, thanks ever so much for your blog;<BR/>Sincerely, <BR/>ElijahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-1152568363224602772006-07-10T17:52:00.000-04:002006-07-10T17:52:00.000-04:00Well, I'm a fan of these.
