Lentil Cookies
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups lentil puree
2 tsp. vanilla
2 cups quick cooking oats
3 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
2 cups chocolate chips or chunks
Cream butter, sugars, lentil puree, and vanilla. Add dry ingredients and mix well. Add chocolate and drop by spoonfuls on a cookie sheet. Bake at 350* about 9 minutes.
Nobody had any idea there were lentils in these. The kids loved them, licked the cookie dough beaters clean, and I didn’t have to worry about them eating raw cookie dough since the lentils replace the eggs. I imagine these are lower in fat too since they replace some of the butter and the eggs. I wonder about trying them with no butter next time? Will have to play around with this and let you know. I think they would be tasty with butterscotch chips, or white chocolate and dried cranberries. Yay for adding protein and fiber to cookies!
