I found a post on William Sonoma's website for juicing. I think it's 30 different juices for 30 days. It looks interesting. I think I will try it starting tomorrow. I'll try my best to post pics and recipes as I go along.
Now, to the cookie recipe. I had a play date planned with a friend today, which we ended up canceling...but I like to provide snacks if we're hosting the date at our house. So, I was racking my brain for a healthy, but yummy cookie recipe. Here's what I came up with!
Cranberry White Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
1/2 c. Applesauce
1/2 c. Agave syrup
1/4 c. Brown sugar (you could probably forego the sugar...Agave syrup is really sweet)
3 well-ripe bananas, mashed
1 egg, beaten (I used milled flaxseed...1 Tbsp milled flaxseed + 1 Tbsp water)
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 c. flour (use GF, if you can't eat gluten)
3 c. old fashioned oats
3/4 c. white chocolate chips
1 c. dried cranberries (I used the whole bag...LOVE dried fruit!)
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a cookie sheet with cooking spray.
Mix Applesauce, Agave syrup, sugar, bananas, egg and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. In a separate medium bowl, mix salt, soda, flour and oats together. Add to the wet ingredients and mix well. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and cranberries and bake for 9-12 minutes. Let it sit on the cookie sheet for a couple minutes before placing on the cooling rack--otherwise it will droop and crumble all over the place. Not good! :-)
Hope you guys like it. It is not the soft, fluffy cookie texture you would get with the Toll House cookie recipe, but it is a healthier alternative and pretty delicious. The cookies are still soft, but chewy--like a baked oatmeal. If you want to go even healthier, omit the chocolate chips and add walnuts instead for a nutty flavor. Maybe drizzle some icing?? :-) I sure do love my sugar! Happy baking!
