So, I found a recipe for Breakfast cookies in an issue or Nick Jr. magazine (either August or September) and ever since I've been trying to change my eating this year, I've been looking for a healthy, balanced baked goodie. Here is what I have come up with when modifying the recipe. I'll post the original after my "Healthy Cookies".
Healthy Cookies
1 c whole wheat flour
1/2 c all purpose flour (unbleached)
1 1/4 c old fashioned oats
1 c vanilla whey protein
2 T ground flax seed
1/2 c brown sugar
1/2 c splenda (for baking-that measures like sugar)
1 1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t baking powder
3/4 t cinnamon
1/4 t salt
1/3 c applesauce (all natural, unsweetened Motts in individual servings--one serving cup)
1 small or 1/2 large orange blended (in a blender)
3 egg whites
1 t vanilla
2/3 c finely chopped dried fruit (apricots and cranberries 1/3 c each)
1/3 c finely chopped walnuts
Mix all the dry ingredients (ww flour, flour, oats, whey, soda, powder, cinnamon, salt) in a bowl-except sugar & flax. Add the dried fruit and nuts to the dry ingred., mix and then set aside. For the wet, I blend the orange in a blender and then dump in the rest of the wet stuff and the sugar and blend those together as well. Combine the wet and dry. Drop cookies onto silpat and bake @ 350 for approx 7 minutes.
For me this recipe made 36 cookies that are about 2 1/2 inches across--77 calories apiece (calculated from my specific ingredients).
I keep over cooking them, so that combined with the lack of oil/butter has made them a little dry. But they're really pretty good.
Here is the original recipe:
Breakfast Cookies
2 c all purpose flour
1 1/4 c old fashioned oats
1 c brown sugar
1 1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t baking powder
3/4 t cinnamon
1/4 t salt
1/4 c applesauce
1/4 c orange juice
3 T unsalted butter
3 egg whites
1 t vanilla
1/3 c raisens
1/4 c apricots
I don't have the actual instructions, but if you mix the dry ingredients, and then the wet, and then combine them--usually that's pretty good. Oh, and these said to bake at 350 for 10-11 minutes.
