HEALTHY-ISH NO-BAKE COOKIES



Healthy-ish No-Bake Cookies image

These cookies with rice milk are not going to be as amazing as the no-bake cookies made with sugar, but they still satisfy a sweet tooth. A lot of recipes add vanilla, so it might be worth adding 1/2 to 1 teaspoon.

Great cookies, healthy, and they work! For healthier version, cut sugar in half. I also like to add chopped walnuts and/or 1/4 cup cocoa powder.

HEALTHY-ISH LACTATION COOKIES



Healthy-Ish Lactation Cookies image

A friend gave me a recipe for lactation cookies but I can devour those things like they're water, so I wanted to make them a tad bit healthier to ease the guilt. :) One note is that if you are using table salt, reduce the salt to 1 teaspoon! I love the way sea salt adds a little more crunch and depth to these cookies. So satisfying. Enjoy!

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups turbinado sugar
2 tablespoons flax seed meal
4 tablespoons water
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup unbleached white flour

1 teaspoon baking soda
4 tablespoons brewer's yeast
3 cups old fashioned oats (extra thick)

  • In a medium bowl, mix flours, sea salt, baking soda and brewer's yeast.
  • In a few batches, add dry ingredients in medium bowl to the butter/sugar mixture in the large bowl. Mix thoroughly (you may have to switch to a wooden spoon during this step, as the dough gets thick!).

  • Scoop dough onto cookie sheet with space between the cookies.
  • Bake for about 15 minutes or until desired brownness is achieved.
  • Remove from oven, let sit in pan for a few minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack.
