I just made these cookies on Saturday and didn’t tell my family they had beans in them. They disappeared just like the ones I usually make with butter. Now these will be the cookies I usually make! I am so excited!

Tried these last night – they were a little too chocolatey for me (I used mini chips and they were EVERYWHERE) but other than that – DELICIOUS! My husband had no idea anything was different. I can’t wait to serve these at our next family gathering and shock the pants off my family members!

Crystal,

I love your sight! I’m slowly putting wheat into more recipes and can add my experience that white wheat is definately easier to use as far as taste goes. I love putting beans in your cookies because beans are loaded with fiber and protein. Keep the great recipes coming.

Cool website Crystal. I am super impressed! I’ll vouch for the blender wheat waffles-they are so good. We make them all the time and love them! I am excited to try out the recipes and suggestions that you post, especially the cookies, they look really good.

“As prepared” in this case means without the nuts. Apparently Crystal’s brother doesn’t rate the full ingredient list. The chopped pecans adds about 100 calories to a four cookie serving, with most of that being fat.

Hey, I said they were good. They are also cakey. You may be able to make them more chewy if you want, but not crispy. No fat pretty much means no crispy.

If you wanted to try making a chewier cookie you could try developing the gluten in the wheat flour more by increasing the mixing time before you add the chips.

Incidentally, as prepared 4 cookies works out to about 300 calories, 30% from fat and a respectable 5g of fiber.

YEAH!! Let me know how you like them. Don’t pay any attention to my brother saying they are too “cakey.” It didn’t stop him from eating a bunch!
