The only thing remotely light about these was the egg substitute and I used real eggs. Sometimes I think Cooking Light should be called Cooking Just A Tad Lighter but every little bit helps I suppose.
These were chewy and delicious. It's hard to say exactly what browning the butter adds since I wasn't doing a side-by-side comparison with a version without browned butter but I bet it added something. These were simple but enjoyable. I took them to work and they went over well. My son passed on them when I told him there wasn't any chocolate in them. The boy likes his chocolate.
Question of the Day: Do you buy egg substitute?

I used to, but it's too expensive. Eggs are one of my favorite foods. It's so easy to just seperate them and cook up the egg whites with 1-2 yolks in them. Tasty and cheaper.
I've never purchased the egg substitute that is in the dairy case at the store. I have tried using soy flour as a substitute for egg in baked goods. I had mixed results with it.
These look good, but my hubby doesn't "do" butterscotch. I may have to try to pass these off as something else to see if he'll try them. :)
no, because my dad has chickens so we get all of our eggs for free... I just couldnt bare to pay for something when a FREE version is sitting on the counter.
I tend to pass on recipes that ask for egg substitute. Not sure what I have against it, I just don't want to use it.
I like them but haven't tried them in an actual recipe. I usually just make them as eggs, yum. :)
I do. I don't actually use it often but I like to have it on hand. I love browned butter...it usually adds a richness to the baked goods that just isn't there otherwise.
