Where is the recipie? I need something like 1/2 C of this or 1 C of that…I like the way that you put it for the apple german cake! Do not make me change from grams to Cups! Thanks a lot

Hi Fernanda,
Some people are more scientific about the whole process and use scales in their kitchen. I will convert this recipe to cups for you and post it in that format for you to use @ home. Not a problem, I’m glad you’re baking with CoasunSA and trying out the recipes. Check back later today for your @ home cups version of this healthier chocolate chip cookie recipe!
Happy Baking!
Fernanda, please check back to the same recipe. I have converted the weights into cups. This in an approximation so the cookie dough may be a bit sticky initially. Double the batch if you want to use a whole egg. A single batch only make ~ 12 cookies, I’m sure your family will want to enjoy more than that. Have a great weekend, and happy baking! Please let me know how it turns out
We finally made the cookies and they come out delicious!. We found that the Coasun gives a feeling of lightness and it also gives us the feeling of an easier digestion. Thanks a lot for taking the time to convert the recipie. Cups are easy to measure when one has not too much time to bake! and beside, I find that after a day at work, the last thing I want to do is look at a scale to measure 122g.
Glad it worked out Fernanda….and that you and your family can enjoy, lighter, healthier chocolate chip cookies! I agree, cups are much easier to whip up a quick recipe after work, please let me know if you need any other recipes converted. Happy Baking
