Number Of Ingredients 15

9 1/2 ounces whole-wheat pastry flour, approximately 2 cups*
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
8 ounces sugar, approximately 1 cup
6 ounces unsalted butter, room temperature, approximately 3/4 cup

2 1/4 ounces unsweetened dried shredded coconut, approximately 1 cup

I know this sounds strange, and I haven't tried it yet, but the reviews are so good, I must try it and posting here for safekeeping. Bal Arneson from Spice Goddess on the Cooking Channel is the creator. You can make these vegan by substituting Earth balance butter for the butter, one tablespoon flaxseed meal mixed with 3 T water(see Recipe #395664) for the egg and vegan chocolate chips.

LENTIL COOKIES RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Lentil Cookies Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by HazyWaters

Number Of Ingredients 16

Lentil Puree:
9 1/2 ounces whole-wheat pastry flour, approximately 2 cups*
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
8 ounces sugar, approximately 1 cup
6 ounces unsalted butter, room temperature, approximately 3/4 cup
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups lentil puree, recipe follows
3 1/2 ounces rolled oats, approximately 1 cup
4 ounces dried fruit, approximately 1 cup
2 1/4 ounces unsweetened dried shredded coconut, approximately 1 cup
4 ounces lentils, approximately 2/3 cup, picked over and rinsed
2 cups water

Steps:

  • *Cook's Note: If desired, a quarter of the whole-wheat flour can be substituted with lentil flour for a denser, stronger flavored cookie. Also, if you do not have pastry flour, you can mix 6 1/2 oz of all- purpose flour with 3 oz. of cake flour as a substitute. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and allspice. In the bowl of a stand-mixer with a whisk attachment, cream together the sugar and butter on medium speed. Add the egg and mix until just incorporated. Add the vanilla and lentil puree and mix until combined. Add the flour mixture and blend on low speed until just combined. Remove the bowl from the mixer and stir in the oats, dried fruit and coconut. Form the dough into balls about 2 teaspoons in size and place on a baking sheet with parchment paper, leaving about 1-inch of room in between. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 195 degrees F is reached on an instant-read thermometer. Lentil Puree: In a small pot over medium heat, combine the lentils and the water. Bring to a simmer, cover, and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, or until lentils are tender. Remove from the heat and puree. If using immediately, let cool. The puree may be stored in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days or in the freezer for 2 to 3 months. Yield: 1 1/2 cups lentil puree

Tips:

  • Use a variety of lentils. Different lentils have different flavors and textures, so using a mix can create a more complex and interesting cookie.
  • Soak the lentils before baking. This helps to soften them and makes them easier to digest.
  • Add spices and flavorings to taste. Lentils have a mild flavor, so you can add spices and flavorings to taste. Common additions include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and vanilla extract.
  • Be careful not to overcook the cookies. Lentils can become dry and tough if they are overcooked, so bake them just until they are set.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before eating. This helps them to firm up and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

Lentil cookies are a delicious and healthy snack or dessert. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With their high fiber and protein content, lentil cookies are a filling and satisfying snack that will keep you feeling full and energized. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious treat, give lentil cookies a try!
