Hello everybody. I have been thinking i should perhaps bake some of my well loved cookies for my grandchildren. However I have been informed that not only is one of my GC allergic to eggs but my daughter would prefer if I used a substitute ingredient rather than chocolate😱?!?! as she deems it unhealthy and futile (this seems rather outlandish to me but I am not one to question her values.) So my question, or rather two queries are.
1.) What can I use as an egg substitute?!
2.) What can I use for a sweet treat inside the cookies rather than chocolate?
Thanks, Carol smile

Dear StephanieBrigantine8691,

You may think you are amusing, you are not. My son nearly died after eating a peanut for the first time.
At the age of six, during a simple operation, his heart stopped. It turned out he was allergic to the anaesthetic used.

Thank goodness, no-one is taking you seriously.

I have reported the nonsense being spouted. However, I doubt it will be deleted.

Dearest Carol, refuser of advice
Allergy schmallergy. Back in my day kids ate what they were given, no such thing as an allergy. Definitely hadn’t heard of any allergies before vaccines were invented 🤷‍♀️

But if you’re that determined to pander to your little snowflake then banana works too.
All they best 😃

Bloody hell, what a stupid dangerous post.
You seem sensible OP, so I know you will ignore this advice. I hope you Grandchildren enjoy your cookies.

Stephanie has a mischievious friend, who is posting on other threads. Exactly same posting style. I wonder ! 🤔

I don't mind a bit of mischief, but Stephanie's advice was dangerous. I wonder too, 🤔

Of course you must acknowledge your GC s allergy to eggs?? Allergies are life threatening and people should NEVER EVER refuse to take them seriously. Stephanie your remarks begger belief !!.what on earth are you thinking of? Fortunately the OP has more sense than to take noice of you. As for the chocolate ban just go with your DDs request , keep the peace at all costs.

crochetcarol please ignore every word of StephanieBrigantine's silly post, unless you want to be banned from seeing your grandchildren because your daughter can't trust you 😳

My grandson has an egg allergy, as did his mum.
She decides what he can safely eat. No-one else.

Well said, V3ra

Stephanie seems to be a new poster intent on causing havoc.

I've reported it too, as a troll, and on other threads.

crochetcarol I have in my kitchen various packets of caribou powder, bought by DD when she was staying. It is a chocolate substitute but check with your daughter if it is suitable.

As for eggs, yes, an egg allergy can be dangerous.
Banana, apple sauce, avocado can be used instead.

NOT CARIBOU!!
I am fed up with autocorrect.

It is Carob powder

caribou powder might not suit a vegetarian !

welbeck Thu 01-Feb-24 23:45:23

carob is ok.
but usually combined with lots of brown sugar . . .

😂😂😂

Apologies
They're not easy to catch, either!

We also have something that looks like sugar in the cupboard, but it's coconut sugar apparently, however, some people are allergic to coconut.
