Bran and Fig Cookies image

Any of the "twiggy" or bud-like cereals (which are in fact mostly bran) will work in these cookies. You could also replace the figs with raisins or chocolate chips. These may be good for you but they are also just plain good.

Time 30m

Yield 48 Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup chopped dried fig
1/2 cup butter
1 cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed
1 large egg
1/2 cup milk
2 cups all-bran cereal
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • If necessary, soak the figs in boiling water for a few minutes to soften them.
  • Drain them and chop them when cool enough to handle.
  • Cream the butter and brown sugar.
  • Beat in the egg and milk.
  • Mix the dry ingredients.
  • Stir them in, with the chopped figs.
  • Scoop out onto lightly buttered cookie sheets, and press down lightly with a wet fork.
  • I use a small melon baller for evenly sized cookies.
  • Bake for 10 minutes or until firm and lightly browned.

These cookies were a bit too dry for my taste, but I think that's because I overbaked them. I'll try again next time and see if I can get them just right.

I'm not a big fan of bran, but these cookies were surprisingly good. The figs really helped to balance out the flavor.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover bran cereal. They're also a good source of fiber, which is important for a healthy diet.
