Time 1h40m

Yield 4 1/2 dozen

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
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
  • 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.
  • 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.

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 high-quality lentils. Lentils that are fresh and free of debris will produce the best cookies.
  • Soak the lentils before baking. This will help to soften them and make them easier to digest.
  • Use a food processor to grind the lentils. This will help to create a fine flour that will produce a smooth cookie.
  • Add plenty of spices and flavorings. Lentils have a mild flavor, so they can easily be overpowered by other ingredients. Be generous with your spices and flavorings to create a cookie that is both flavorful and satisfying.
  • Don't overbake the cookies. Lentils can easily become dry and crumbly if they are overbaked. Bake the cookies just until they are set and the edges are golden brown.

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 great way to satisfy your sweet tooth without sacrificing your health. So next time you're looking for a nutritious and satisfying snack, give lentil cookies a try!
