The original lasagna recipe contained about 36 grams of fat. We cut that back to 11 ... primarily by removing the meat from the meat sauce and making a cream sauce with low-fat milk and just a little bit of olive oil.
This is a wonderful holiday cookie, particularly because the filling is made with a combination of dried fruits. There are figs, apricots, dates and you need very little sugar in it.
Use a light touch. It's almost like making a scone. Knead it a few times until you form a ball, pop it into the oven, and you're ready to enjoy it.
It takes five minutes to mix up. Because it's leavened with soda rather than yeast, you don't need to let it rise. Just pop it in the oven and 45 minutes later, you have homemade bread.
The dough has no butter in it, just canola oil. So it's got the good kind of fat and it's very low in fat. As far as the cookie goes, I would say, this is one of your best choices.
