Well, I decided to try and approach this from a healthy perspective. Healthy cookie dough???? I used half whole wheat flour, dark brown sugar and splenda instead of white sugar, chopped dried fruits, nuts and a little bit of dark chocolate. Well, the dough was REALLY awful and didn't do a thing for me. But hey, I figured pumpkin pie batter is awful but the pie is delicious when finished. So I baked them - not quite as bad as the dough but EGADS!!! Not even the dog would try one! Does that tell you anything???? Then I got the giggles about it...... I'm recovering but sheesh! They don't actually look that bad and it isn't so much the taste as the lack of it (not enough splenda?) and the texture - something akin to what insulation feels like between your fingers. Ughhhhhh!!! Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the soy flour. Who knew? I do now!!!

I laughed at this experience almost as much as at my friend who was low-carbing at Thanksgiving - so she decided to make "dressing" from pork skins. I STILL laugh at that story and her mock mashed potatoes from cauliflower???? Now I seem to have joined in the lunacy ~ Heaven help me!
