Cookie General

[Anonymous No.6255432]

Alright cu/ck/s I need some advice on my cookies.
I have no problem making them rise, but they don't spread out like normal cookies. That's not abnormal to me because I'm not using regular ingredients. I'm trying to go for as low of calorie cookies as possible while still being sweet.
Here's my ingredients:
>1 cup flour, 1/2 cup almond flour, 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1/3 cup stevia, 1 banana, 1 egg, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp baking soda.
What the fuck do I add to make them spread out more? I'll make enough for about 2.5 dozen cookies, then separate the cookie dough and add different ingredients. What should I add anons?
I just need some kind of low cal substitute for brown sugar and butter...

remove 1/2 cup almond flour, 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1/3 cup stevia, 1 banana and replace it with sugar

[Anonymous No.6255448]

there is hardly any liquid in there at all. cookies are mostly butter and sugar, you replaced the sugar but did nothing to substitute for the butter

[Anonymous No.6255461]

What if I whipped a 1/4-1/2 cup of milk or almond milk?
Would that replace it?
Also I thought the 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce was fairly liquidy.

dont eat Frankenstein cookies if you want a good result. cut out cookies or eat it and be thankfully.

Well I guess I came to the wrong place... Ask for a low cal substitute to make cookies and get told to pack em in...
The cookies were delicious last time btw, just didn't spread out, rised like a mother fucker though.

>low kcal substitute

why? if you're cutting you don't need cookies to begin with. you can't live without cookies until your cut is over? are you 4 years old?

[Anonymous No.6255519]

Who said I was cutting?
It's common sense to not make cookies that will probably be more than 2000-2500 calories.
My entire 2.5 dozen batch barely comes out to like 900 calories.
Who the fuck is going to eat that many cookies?
Currently bucking, don't want to fuck my macros. If I consumed that many calories, how would I get my protein, eat like 7 cans of dry tuna? No thanks.

it's easy to get protein when you're bulking, you only need 1.6g/kg of lean body mass. so unless you are a manlet, you can easily fit cookies in your macros if you do cardio

[Anonymous No.6255545]

>>6255532
Not if you do it your retarded way and go for unhealthy cookies. I realize it's easy as fuck to do with my healthy cookies faggot.
If I had a reasonable amount of cookies, say 5-8, depending on if they're small or large, and if they were the normal everyday cookies, there just went 600-900 calories that could've been used on other meals.
Be in denial all you want, eating regular cookies while bulking or cutting is stupid and will fuck your macros.
Don't even know what you're talking about.

what the fuck are you talking about idiot? how many kcals do you bulk on? a typical bulk is 3500k kcals, an hour of cardio burns 500-600 kcals. thats 4 thousand fucking kcals, and you cant fit 900kcals of cookies in it? did you not take 6th grade math?

enjoy your shitty cookies faggot, i just know you're the kind of faggot that eats oats and drinks whole milk to "hit his macros"

> a typical bulk is 3500k
Maybe if you're a fucktard doing a dirty bulk.
Clearly the smart thing to do is a clean bulk, a 200-300 caloric surplus is optimal. You can only put on 1.5-2 lbs of muscle on a month MAX, the rest would be fat.
Get the fuck outa my thread Amerilard.

Rippetoe says an adult male needs 6000 calories per day. Next time read the sticky, skellington dyel manlet.

my maint is 2850 without cardio, so even a conservative bulk would make it 3100-3200kcals. plus i do cardio every day, sometimes twice a day. post your stats faggot, bet you don't even bench 1plate with your gay ass almond milk cookies

that's actually kinda hot, even though I am repulsed by fat people

[Anonymous No.6255585]

>>6255578
Yeah you tell him anon, eat 4000 calories a day.

>they don't spread out like normal cookies.
Use a silpat (silicone baking sheet). The slickness of the silpat makes all my cookies spread. In fact, I routinely chill my dough over night now because the dough will spread too much.

[Anonymous No.6255605]

Need more liquid and a higher fat content, simple as that as fat oils dont dry out as the cookie bakes

[Anonymous No.6255609]

Which is why butter works better than margerine that has a higher blended water ratio

[Anonymous No.6255752]

Has anyone tried adding speculoos to cookies instead of butter?

[Anonymous No.6256196]

im interested too, cept biscoff

>implying a diet is temporary
If you're going on a Diet, its forever.

Anyway what's wrong with adding fruit to cookies? Having banana and applesauce is more nutritious than just butter or oil since you're getting extra vitamins. Don't say choc chip is unhealthy - dark chocolate is where it's at.

Yeah but if you ate 5-8 stevia cookies you'll tear your intestines out through your asshole.
