Diy brussels cookies
Cookies
When I was 7 months pregnant with my daughter, I got itchy. Turns out, I have a slight allergy to cottonseed oil that went into hyperdrive and simultaneously, I had huge cravings for Pepperidge Farms cookies. Yep, one of those foods that may or may not contain cottonseed oil. I rolled the dice, and spent a lot of time soaking in oatmeal baths. What I would have given to have had this recipe then!
<br />
<br />That's one of the reasons that I wrote my new cookbook, Real Snacks. We all get craving now and then for junky snack food, and while I'm not saying that sugar and butter and flour are exactly health food, I think a little indulgence is good for the soul. But I hate the fact that those snacks also are packed with industrial oils, flavorings and colors that really provide no pleasure and in many cases even a small amount can be debilitating. These crisp Brussels cookies are super easy (and forgiving) to make, and not only skip the hydrogenated oils, but also add a bit more nutrition from whole wheat flour and oat bran. I like a little honey in the mix for flavor, but you can also skip it, and increase the sugar by 2 tablespoons.
