Snack Cookies
I hesitate to post recipes because I'm afraid they're not gourmet enough. I decided to get over myself and start posting. My recipes are not gourmet, but they work and they're good enough and maybe you can improve upon them to your liking. So, bring on the recipes....
Snack Cookies
adapted from 30 Day Gourmet's Big Book of Freezer Cooking (Breakfast Cookies)
Makes 16 cookies
If you can't tell from the names, these aren't sweet dessert cookies. These are hearty snack cookies.
1/4 c oil
3/4 c peanut butter
1/2 c honey
1/4 c applesauce
2 tsp vanilla
2T ground flaxseed + 6T water
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
2 c whole wheat flour
2 c oats
1/2 c dark chocolate chips
1/2 c dried cranberries
1/2 c chopped walnuts
1. In a large bowl, cream together oil, peanut butter, and honey
2. Add applesauce, vanilla, and flax/water mixture. Mix well.
3. Stir in salt,cinnamon, and baking soda.
4. Add 1/4 c flaxseed, whole wheat flour, and oats.
5. Dough will be thick. Stir in chocolate chips, cranberries, and walnuts.
6. Using 1/4 cup dough, form into small patties and place on baking sheet. I like to use a baking stone.
7. Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes, until cracked on top and golden brown. Cool on baking racks. Note that cooking time may vary if using a metal baking pan instead of a baking stone.
8. To freeze: After cooling, place in desired freezer safe container. Thaw at room temp and enjoy.
