| These candy-like cookies are easy to make and delicious. If you want to indulge in something sinfully sweet but don't have the time to make something fancy, this quick and easy recipe is sure to hit the spot. Plus, there's the added bonus that because you're using your choice of ingredients, you'll be avoiding those nasty preservatives found in store-bought snacks.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons Maple
Leaf dried butter powder
1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 cup sugar (I use cane sugar)
2 tablespoons Maple
Leaf nonfat dry milk
dash sea salt
2 tablespoons Maple
Leaf peanut butter powder*
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon pure vanilla
2 cups UNCOOKED oatmeal
Optional: Toast the peanut butter powder in a nonstick
skillet for 2 to 3 minutes over low heat.
Add the butter powder, cocoa, sugar, nonfat dry milk, salt, and
peanut butter powder to a microwave-safe bowl. Mix to combine
the ingredients.
Next stir in the water. (The ingredients won't mix well at
this point.)
Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Whisk the ingredients until
all is well-blended. Microwave for 30 seconds at 70% power, stir
well; repeat.
Remove dish from microwave and whisk in the vanilla.
Add the oatmeal and stir well.
Drop by
tablespoonful on waxed paper and allow to cool.
Makes 18 cookies.
Nutritional Analysis:
*Note this version may not taste as sweet as what you're
used to. I sometimes substitute 1 cup of coconut for a cup of
the oatmeal to compensate. Another option is to add a little
corn syrup when you add the water. (Be sure to adjust the
nutritional analysis if you do so.)
