crazy cool cookies!!

Cookie Recipe

4 cups Uncooked 5 Grain Cereal Mix
2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
1 cup chopped Walnuts
1 tsp. Ground Cinnamon
½ tsp. Nutmeg
½ tsp. Baking Soda (Aluminum Free)
1 Egg
½ tsp. Vanilla
½ cup organic honey
1 cup Applesauce
1 cup pure Pumpkin
2 TBS. Red Palm Oil

Heat oven to 375 F.
Lightly grease cookie sheet.
Combine dry ingredients, mix well.
Mix Honey, Vanilla, Applesauce, Pumpkin, Red Palm Oil until smooth.
Add Egg.
Blend dry ingredients, mixing thoroughly.
Stir in chopped nuts and place rounded spoonfuls of dough onto cookie sheet.
Bake approximately 10 minutes.


I added 1 cup my Millet/Quinoa mix to the dry stuff. I didn't have any Red Palm oil.
I couldn't find 4 grain cereal so I used the 9 grain cereal instead.
I cooked for 12 minutes because my rounded spoonfulls came from a big spoon .lol

You know, this sounds almost like a cookie that I used to make from an old American Diabetes Association cookbook from the 70's. In the days before Splenda, there wasn't much you could bake with and still come up with a technically sugar-free cookie, as fructose was also off-limits for Type 1 diabetic kids. I looked through the ingredients and it seems scarily similar (minus the Red Pam Oil of course). Actually, now that I think about it, your cookies might taste better than those, since they used orange juice concentrate as a sweetner (and it wasn't much of one - they tasted like nutty biscuits rather than cookies).

Where do you find aluminum free baking soda? I never knew you could get it until I read this recipe but when I looked at the store, they didn't have any. There are a lot of recipes that I could revise for the fids but I haven't because of the soda....
