SHREDDED WHEAT COOKIES

Shredded Wheat Cookies image

This is how I get rid of our extra plain, boring shredded wheat that no one really wants to eat. They are crunchy, but still soft. To my taste buds, they fashion a taste somewhere in between peanut butter cookies and oatmeal cookies, but with a crunchy aspect to them, paired with a hint of chocolatey goodness. The baking time is for a couple batches, but it will vary depending on how big your oven and/or baking sheets are.

Cream together the butter and the two sugars in a very large bowl.

Stir in the shredded wheat mixture.
Add the remaining chocolate chips. Feel free to experiment with adding other things like white chocolate or dark chocolate chips, nuts, M&M's, toffee pieces, anything you like.
Drop by flat tablespoons onto the lightly greased baking sheets and pop them into the oven.
Check them after 8 minutes or so. Depending on the pan you use, they could be done or it could take as much as 12-15 minutes.
Pull them out when the edges are slightly browned and the middle looks soft and squishy, but isn't doughy.
Make sure you cool them completely before packing in an airtight container. When they are suitable to pack, they can stay at room temperature for awhile.

Yield 40 cookies, 40 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 3/4 cups shredded wheat cereal
1 -1 1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup applesauce
1/2 teaspoon stevia powder
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2-1 cup nuts (optional)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Process shredded wheat and 1/2°C chocolate chips in food processor until finely ground.
Beat together butter, applesauce, stevia, eggs, and vanilla.

Drop by tablespoons onto greased pan and flatten out (these do not spread very much).
Bake 8-10 minutes or until edges are light brown and cookie is set.

Tips:

Use ripe bananas: Overripe bananas are sweeter and have a more intense flavor.
Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking: This will help the cookies keep their shape.
Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying: This will allow the flavors to meld and the cookies to firm up.

These healthy shredded wheat cookies are a delicious and nutritious snack that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. They are made with simple ingredients and are easy to make. Plus, they are a great way to use up leftover bananas. So next time you have a few overripe bananas, give these cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
