Last month I posted about my mom’s healthy cookies. As I mentioned, my mom would get creative with these and each time I make them I use a different combination of healthy ingredients. This time I used 4 cups of bran, 2 cups of whole wheat flour, 6 eggs, and half the amount of sugar and olive oil as last time. I felt these were much healthier and they were 140 calories per cookie instead of 220 calories. Here’s the new recipe:
In a large bowl, mix together:
4 cups bran
2 cups wheat flour
1/2 cup olive oil
2 individual containers yogurt (plain or vanilla)
3/4 cups sugar
6 eggs (with the 6th egg, only put in egg white & save the egg yolk for later)
After you mix it all together into a dough, roll into small balls and pat down onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Dab some of the egg yolk on each one to add a glaze.
Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes or until the bottom looks golden.
