Ok Now I'm Hungry ... .Healthy Cookies

Last post this morning..see previous ones. I'm making cookies. Ana
Adapted from Tassajara Cookbook by Karla Olivera (Gibbs Smith, 2007)

This recipe for
thumbprint cookies comes from the Tassajara Zen Mountain Center, the
legendary Buddhist monastery in California.
And I’ll say this, those
monks make some mean cookies. Actually, since they are vegan, I guess
they’d be more properly classified as kind. All I know is that they are
as wholesome and healthy as they are delicious, a bit of a Buddhist
miracle. Yum.

INGREDIENTS
1 cup unbleached flour
2 cups almonds, ground
4 cups baby rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup maple syrup
1 cup canola or vegetable oil
1/2 cup jam, thinned with water

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, almonds, oats, and salt.
2. In another bowl, mix together the syrup and oil. Add to the dry
ingredients using your hands to mix well. Let dough stand for 15 minutes
before using.

3. Roll dough into 3/4-inch balls. Place close together on baking
sheets. Make a little dent in the top of each ball and fill them with
1/2 teaspoon (or less) of the jam. Bake for 15 minutes or until slightly
brown. Do not over bake. Cool on a wire rack.

Variation: You can replace 1/4 cup of the oil with 1/2 cup of peanut butter.

'Actually what I find and my family too is that when we eat something really healthy and it tastes really good, one is enough. We tend to eat less and are more satisfied with what we eat.'
That is so NOT me--even if it doesn't taste good I will eat it all!

I can't keep up with all your posts! This recipe sounds great.

The cookies turned out wonderful and I even baked up some banana muffins. I haven't baked much because of the oven is my place to store pots, pans. bowls. I tried my toaster oven and to my delight it did just grand. As to the many post, I admit my post are to share, people have many different tastes as to what is of interest to them, and posting is also my way to share latter with family and discuss things. I won't remember everything I read and come across, so in posting about it I can "bookmark" for later. Many times my son or hubby will say something about what they hear on TV or car radio, and I've posted about it, so I suggest they go and read the post, links etc.

Good day to you, and good treats to eat.

I would eat too many and they wouldn't be healthy!

Actually what I find and my family too is that when we eat something really healthy and it tastes really good, one is enough. We tend to eat less and are more satisfied with what we eat.
