The first time I tried these, I made the following alterations, out of necessity: used whole wheat (home ground hard red), replaced 1/4 c of the butter with canola oil. The turned out great! I made a double batch in a baker's sheet and turned the heat down a bit and increased the baking time a bit. Since the whole wheat went so well, I've decided to see how many other 'healthy' alterations I can make, like applesauce for oil and some healthier sweetener option, I will update if future alterations go well.
