Nutritional information, sugar, fat, diet, etc., etc. Has anyone MADE these cookies, and how are they?
I try and use many of Martha's recepies and have done so for many years. They have never had any nutritional info with them. There are many other food sites that have this kind of info, so I suggest you visit them. Stop complaining about not having this info. For low fat/calorie cookies, go to the diet section of your local grocery store. I am sure you will find them there.
Bring on the cookies. Life is too short. Dig a little more or take a longer walk. Love the recipes. Keep them coming.
Oh, I do so agree with mykele. Enough already about the nutrition of a cookie. If you are so concerned about your diet, then DON'T EAT COOKIES. Cookies are not diet food. They are a treat. They usually contain lots of fat and sugar. If you really need to know the dietry information check the web for a converter. There are plenty out there. Just stop complaining because you have to do a little work.
I would strongly advise those with important nutritional information needs
to buy cookbooks that do give them the nutritional informa tion. This site
gives us free recipes that are pretty standard with ingredients and are
NOT low calorie for the most part. Cookies are not diet food.
Enough already about nutritional information. Cookies are not basically
diet food. If your dietary needs are essential to your well being, there
are special cook books themed to various dietary needs that give
a good range of recipes. There a re conversion tables available also.
The MS site is not set up for that info and what we do get is a freebe
anyway and not always accurate as to ingredients and measurements.
click the refresh button - that is what I did and it worked
click on "today's cookie recipe" and it will show you a photo and the recipe.
My email didn't have any info, no photo, just the link.
totally agree to this comment.!!!!!!!!!!!
It would be helpful if the nutritional info were made available on the recipes. Not only for us weight watcher types but for those who have dietary issues that need monitoring. Hope that you consider this. thanks!
