Mesquite-Oh! Cookies
- 1 cup mesquite flour, sifted to break up clumps
- 1 14 cups unbleached flour
- 14 cup oat bran
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup light margarine
- 14 cup granulated sugar
- 12 cup brown sugar
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 34 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 375F and lightly grease cookie sheets.
- In a medium bowl slowly stir together first 5 ingredients (*note: mesquite flour is fine and creates dust when stirred to quickly) Set aside bowl.
- In a large bowl whip margarine with mixer until fluffy.
- Add in sugars and beat till just combined.
- Then add egg whites and vanilla, beat until smooth (don't over whip).
- Next, add flour mixture by thirds into margarine mix., stirring by hand in between each addition.
- Mix well and add in chocolate chips until combined.
- *The dough will be thinner then a traditional dough -- almost resembling cake frosting.
- Drop dough by tablespoonful onto cookie sheet and bake for 6-6 1/2 minutes.
- When done let cool on sheet 1 min., then remove to cooling rack until firm.
- These cookies will stay soft in the middle.
- VERY IMPORTANT: do not over-bake these or they will burn -- quick!
- also, Mesquite flour is naturally high in sucralose so don't feel tempted to add more sugar then called for.
