Re:Substitution for 1/2 cup softened margarine in chocolate chip cookie

You could try drained applesauce.

 

Place a coffee filter or cheese cloth in a strainer and pour in your applesauce.

Let it drain for awhile (sorry, have no idea how long I usually let it go). The

liquid drains off and the applesauce becomes thick with a more concentrated

flavor

 

I sub the same amount of applesauce as the fat that's called for in the recipe.

 

Not sure how it will work in cookies but it's great in cake and muffins.
