MORE DROOL!! (IMAGE SOURCE) |
These cookies were originally made by Carrots 'n' Cake but the recipe I adopted was the one adopted by You just have to TRI. "You just have to TRI" is a long time follower and commenter on my blog. When I saw these cookies on here post I had to try them.
These cookies are super healthy (or at least that is what I keep telling myself) because they have:
- Oats - fiber is good for your tummy. Also Quakers do not lie and they are skinny
- Whole wheat flour - because the media says anything with whole wheat is better. I used general purpose flour because it tastes better and is not heathly.
- Pumpkin - it's a really big fruit. I learned that on Good Eats last night.
- Chia seeds - because they are little alien seeds and you need to eat them before they hatch and take over the world (and also because they look like rabbit turds).
- Vanilla Extract - because a little alcohol is good for cholesterol levels
- Walnuts - because they look like little brains so they make you smart
- Raisins - again because they look like rabbit turds
- Hemp Milk - Because hippies use hemp milk as an excuse for not passing drug tests. I substituted heavy cream because I am cheap and did not want to throw out the little I had left in the refrigerator. Heavy cream also tastes MUCH better. Hemp milk tastes like dry rope.
Because this cookies are so healthy I had to crack open up one of these to balance the goodness with some carbs |

You are "supposed" to let them cool down. YA RIGHT!! |
