Does this have the same effect on cookies as sugar? Xylitol produces a cakey cookie, would this produce better texture?

I have not tried erythritol only xyltlitol. However, I don't expect any sugar alternative to have the same properties as sugar. You might want to ask in Google whether erythritol is good for baking cookies and see what responses you get.

It makes cakey cookies :( Coconut sugar is the best sugar substitute I've found for baking cookies and bars. Bakes up like the real thing :)

I think it would be better because of its better taste and texture but I honestly don't know for sure.

I have the polished, but wonder if the texture has more to do with the recipe than the finish. Case in point - this past Christmas I followed a pizzelle recipe but forgot to add the baking powder. They turned out thin, crisp and delicious. Next time I added the baking powder, and the pizzelles were thicker and soft. I, too, prefer thin and crisp and will intentionally omit the baking powder next time. Just my experience, hope it's helpful.

I would say not, but I haven't tried it. I've never met an artificial sweetener that tastes exactly like sugar. It seems there's always an after taste. I think it's the best of the lot even though it is 70% sweet as sugar. Monk fruit extract mixed with this product may be a better combination although I am not sure of the percentages of each to make a mix. I'm going to order this as I have used eryrithritol before and although it is not perfect it is the best of any. Splenda is okay as sweetener but full of chemicals that are a bit scary with potential health problems.

I have never used it in cookies but I use it in cakes and muffins instead of baking powder and they turn out great!

Yes, definitely. I have used it in cakes and cookies with delicious results. No one has complained of any off-taste from doing so.

You are using too much. Just spray once. You should be okay. Some people are more sensitive inside their mouth than others. If it still bothers you, you shouldn't use it. Xylitiol actually, after an hour or so, begins to dry your mouth out. Even more if you are on medications. I am weaning myself away from Xylitol and going back to stevia. More and more items are being sold with stevia which is better for you.

It isn't noticeable to me. There are other no fluoride, xylitol toothpastes with better flavor, like the Spry toothpastes, but this one is at a much better price. If flavor is king, go with Spry.

Yes. It works the same as regular sugar, except it is not quite as sweet as regular sugar, which I happen to like. You need to add a little extra to make it the same exact sweetness as regular sugar.

I haven't used it in an actual cookie......but I do use it for an Italian version of a linzer torte....I've made it with and without this product and let me just tell you what a difference it made! Really made it light. Depending on the type of cookie you're making, this should make it light as a feather ;)

That's a good question! I usually follow the recipes on the website first and the cake did seem a bit heavy for me so if xanthan gum would help make it fluff a little more, that may be a good suggestion! If you try and it helps, please let us know!

Not at all. All stevia sweetened products have a bit of a slick-ness to them which may be the licorice taste you're referencing. I like the unsweetened flavor best because you can add whatever sweetener you want (xylitol is my preference).

I don't think so. It is the consistency of regular toothpaste, but it just doesn't foam. I spit it out just because I'm not used to swallowing toothpaste, but you could swallow it. My four year old does. It almost feels like brushing with just your toothbrush, but my teeth are whiter than ever with no whitening toothpaste. I've also had throbbing nerve pain with some of my teeth. I know xylitol can rebuild tooth enamel, so I rubbed Earthpaste straight on my throbbing teeth. A couple days later, not pain and it hasn't come back. I'm pleased with this toothpaste.

We ate ours on cupcakes a few weeks after I purchased them. They taste like pure sugar. Worked great on our cupcakes, we put them on the night before and were fine for the next afternoon.

FYI, turns out the sweetener *Xylitol* "...is a 'tooth-friendly', nonfermentable sugar alcohol. It appears to have more dental health benefits than other polyalcohols." (from Wikipedia)

This product does NOT taste like sugar. It took 2 weeks of using this product before I appreciate it's much subtler taste. I love this subtle taste now. It is satisfying for me. But if you are expecting it to taste like sugar, you will have to use a lot more of it which defeats the purpose. Unless you are wanting to lessen calories and eventually give up the heavy sugar taste, this will not satisfy you as much. Like I said, I love it now but I had to adjust to it. I'm glad I was able to!!

I purchased unsweetened (don't know if they sell a sweeten version) it has a more subtle coconut flavor than the sweetened alternatives. On the other hand you can control what kind and how much sweetener you want to use. It reminds me of unsweetened coconut milk. If baking with it, it does not yield the same effect as sweetened coconut.

Yes, I found this sugar very coarse. I had wanted to use this on Snowflake cookies last Christmas to have them "glisten" and ended up smashing them with my rolling pin since they were to chunky for what I needed. I hope this helps you.
