Can you use fructose in place of sugar in baking cookies?
I want to make peanut butter cookies but dont have pure cane sugar, I have fructose.
Answers:
Yes, but you have to use less due the sweetening power of fructose compared to sugar. Also, because you are using less volume of a sweetener you must replace the missing volume with another ingredient, preferably with flour. Some experimenting with the recipe will be necessary to achieve your goal.
Yes, but you have to use less. I'm not sure what the percentage is, but eyeballing it should work.
No, won't work. We tried it back when my grandmother (who had diabetes) was still alive. You'll just have to go to the store.
