Its the Holiday season and the one thing we cannot get enough of are cookies! The food world is teeming with thousand of cookie recipes every day .I also jumped into the bandwagon and decided to try something different 🙂

Of late I’ve been using Coconut Oil a lot in my desserts and ever since I laid my eye on a recipe at My Recipes, I’ve been thinking of giving it a try.I finally did that yesterday and put my own spin by substituting Coconut Oil for Butter and boy was it good!

We’ve all been eating away the cookies and I’m worried we’ll be running out of these too soon 🙂 The coconut oil and the yoghurt gives these cookies a very chewy almost cake-like texture that makes them very indulgent.Who knew healthy could be so so good!The recipe suggested that these were crisp on the edges, but mine were chewy all over and I think the coconut oil made that happen.It makes baked stuff really moist and chewy, just the way I like them :)These also have a longer shelf life since there are no eggs.I couldn’t have asked for a better, healthier , holiday cookie~

    Is it possible to substitute the coconut oil with olive oil? Will it affect the texture?

      Hi Emily, I haven’t tried these using Olive Oil but it would certainly alter the taste maybe not the texture that much.You could go ahead and try :)Thanks!
