Lactard Defition

What does lactarded mean?
-Well, people who are lactose intolerant have a difficult time digesting dairy. It varies in severity from mild intolerance to complete intolerance. This variation occurs because some people produce less lactase enzyme (especially as they age) and some stop producing it completely. The lactase enzyme is the all important enzyme that helps to digest lactose, which is found in dairy products.
-Retarded is defined as a slowing down, diminution, or hindrance.
-Lactarded is a slang term that combines these two concepts!

Chocolate Chip Cookies

So yes I know this is a bit generic but SO DELICIOUS.  I used to use the Nestle Tollhouse recipe all the time but the whole cup of butter thing made it not so lactard safe :)  A friend of mine discovered butter flavored crisco (as mentioned in previous post) and made delicious cookies with it so I have been wanting to try as well.  I have made the recipe before with the vegan butter I used for the red velvet chocolate chip cookies but I wanted to give it another try.  Let's discuss HOW AWESOME it turned out.  I will totally be trying the red velvet chocolate chip cookies AGAIN (even though they were awesome the first time, I bet they will be even better!!!)

Anyway.  The Tollhouse recipe can be found here: Nestle Tollhouse
But here it is minus the nuts!
Ingredients:


  • 2 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butter (1 cup buttered flavor crisco + 2 tablespoons water)
    • room temp!!!!  (this is what makes these super soft)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (Ghirardelli makes some lactose free!!!)
Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 375F
  • Mix flour + baking soda + salt into a small bowl
  • Beat together the butter, sugars + vanilla extract in a large bowl - until creamy
  • Add the eggs one at a time + beat well after each
  • Gradually beat in the flour mix
  • Stir/fold in the chocolate chips
  • Drop onto ungreased baking sheets
  • Bake for about 9 minutes (up to 11) until nicely golden brown
  • Remove, let sit for a moment and then transfer to wire racks
  • Attempt to not scarf them all immediately
  • Grab a cold glass of lactose free milk
  • Now eat but save at least one to share ;)
I'm bringing the majority of these to work with me tonight but I will leave a couple at home for Jesse :)

  1. I made these again tonight because Jesse was having some friends over for poker (one of whom is ALSO lactarded) but I didn't realize I was almost out of flour. I made them with just 2 cups flour and they were even more moist. I think I would officially amend the recipe for lactarded butter to be 2 cups but those of you who get to eat real butter...follow the recipe as is!
