Soy Cookie – Diet Food

OK, took me a while, but here it is:
Triple Soy Cookies
1 c oats
2/3 c whole wheat flour
1/3 c soy flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 c soy nut butter (I use IM Healthy Unsweetened Chunky)
2 tbs vegetable oil
1 c sugar (I use xylitol to lower carbs)
1/3 c soy milk (again, to lower sugar/carbs, I use unsweetened)
2 tsp vanilla
2/3 c chocolate chips
1/3 c coarsely chopped nuts (whatever works for you… I’ve also done dried cranberries instead of nuts)
Preheat oven to 350
In large bowl, mix oats, flours, baking soda & salt
In small bowl, mix nut butter & oil until well blended, stir in sugar, soy milk & vanilla
Add wet misture to dry & stir with wooden spoon until JUST combined & then GENTLY fold in chips & nuts. Don’t overmix or the cookies will be tough!
Drop on to cookie sheets (greased, or I just use the silpat mats) by spoonfuls, about 2″ apart & bake until tops set & begin to look dry (approx 13-15 min) let cool 5 min before removing from sheets – put on wire racks to finish cooling.

These are always a big hit… I’ve even used them to make ice cream sandwiches — underbaked them a bit, and then put a scoop of ice cream btwn two & put into freezer to set. YUM!
