Marathon Cookies image

This came off the 101 cookbook website. I however have changed the spices. This is not supposed to be a sweet cookie. It is a healthy cookie. The originator made these for her husband when he ran a marathon. My family thought they were great.

Time 25m

Yield 24 cookies, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups rolled oats (not instant oats)
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour or 1 cup white flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cardamom
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
15 ounces great northern beans or 15 ounces navy beans, rinsed & drained
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup natural cane sugar (or brown sugar)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup chopped dates
1/3 cup sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350F degrees and place a rack in the top third. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Pulse the oats in a food processor (or blender) until they resemble a raggy flour. Transfer the oats to a large mixing bowl and whisk in the flour, cinnamon, cardamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Pulse the beans and olive oil in the food processor until they are creamy. Add the sugar, egg, and vanilla extract and pulse until smooth. Scrap down the sides of the bowl once or twice along the way.
  • Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until the ingredients start to come together. Sprinkle the dates across the top of the batter and stir until everything just comes together.
  • Place the sesames seeds in a bowl. Make each cookie with a scant 1/4 cup scoop of dough. Roll each scoop of dough into a ball then coat it with sesame seeds. Set each ball on the prepared baking sheet and with the palm of your hand flatten the dough just a bit . Repeat with the remaining dough, leaving at least an inch or so between each cookie - they'll spread a bit, but not much. Bake for about 15 minutes or until the sesame seeds around the bottom start to get golden.

I love the way these cookies taste, but I found them to be a little too chewy. I will definitely be making them again, but I will bake them for a little less time next time.

I love the way these cookies taste, but I found them to be a little too sweet for my taste. I will definitely be making them again, but I will reduce the amount of sugar next time.
