Almost everyone loves cookies. Most store bought varieties, though, are filled
with partially hydrogenated oils and other undesirable ingredients. These tasty
little cookies are actually made with virgin coconut oil and a host of other
wholesome additions like tofu and chopped almonds. Enjoy a cookie with a cup of
hot green tea to make you feel that life is really worth living!
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
- 3/4 cup unbleached white flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted
- 3/4 cup raw almonds, coarsely chopped
- 4 ounces silken tofu
- 1/2 cup Manila Coco Virgin Coconut Oil
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon almond extract
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a bowl, stir together the flours, baking powder, and salt. Mix in the
sesame seeds and chopped almonds.
- In another bowl, mash the tofu and combine with the Virgin Coco de Manila
Culinary Lauric Oil, sugar, and almond extract. Mix well.
- Using a rubber spatula, fold the wet ingredients into the flour mixture.
Roll the mixture into one-inch balls, flatten between your palms, and place
them on ungreased baking sheets. Bake the cookies about 10 minutes, until the
edges begin to brown. Remove from the cookie sheet and cool on a rack.
