Almond Oat Raisin Cookies

Bruce Weinstein and

Serves: 40 cookies, 1 cookier per serving
 
Admittedly, we're partial to cookies - but who wouldn't be partial to these, stuffed with oats, soy protein and heart-healthy flax?  If you want to make vegan cookies, substitute a small, ripe banana for the egg white.

Ingredients:

1 box Zoe Flax and Soy Granola Cereal, Almond Oats Flavor

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup raisins

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 stick margarine, softened

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup tahini

1/2 cup maple syrup

1 large egg white

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

 
Instructions:

1.  Position the racks in the top third and the middle of the oven.  Preheat the oven to 350°F.

2.  Mix the Zoe Flax and Soy Granola Cereal, flour, raisins, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl until the cereal and raisins are coated with the flour and the baking soda and salt are distributed throughout the mixture.  Set aside.

3.  Cream the margarine and sugar in a large bowl, using an electric mixer at medium speed, until smooth, about 2 minutes.  Add the tahini, syrup, egg white and vanilla; continue beating until soft and light, about 2 more minutes.  Remove the beaters and stir in the cereal mixture with a rubber spatula or a wooden spoon, just until moistened.

4.  Roll about 2 heaping teaspoons of the dough into a ball, place it on an ungreased nonstick baking sheet, and flatten slightly using either your palm or the back of a spoon.  Repeat, spacing the flattened balls 1 1/2 inches apart, until you have filled two baking sheets.

5.  Bake 10 minutes, and again flatten the cookies slightly with the back of a spoon.  Continue baking until lightly brown and slightly dry to the touch, about 8-10 minutes.  Cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool.  Cool the baking sheets for 5 minutes before making additional batches.  The cookies can be kept, tightly covered, at room temperature for up to 3 days, or they can be frozen in sealed plastic containers for up to 3 monhts.
