Healthy Cowgirl Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease two cookie sheets.
• Cream the margarine together with the white sugar and brown sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time until thoroughly blended. Mix in the vanilla and almond extracts.
• Stir the flour, baking soda, salt, and rolled oats together in a mixing bowl until well blended. Stir the flour mixture into the sugar mixture. Mix in the coconut, white chocolate, and macadamia nuts until evenly blended. Drop by tablespoonfuls 1 inch apart on prepared cookie sheets.
• Bake in preheated oven until centers are set and edges are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Cool 3 minutes on baking sheets before removing to cool on a rack.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Beat butter, yogurt, sugar and sucanat together.
• Mix in eggs.
• Slowly add flours, and baking soda.
• By hand mix in remaining ingredients.
• Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake 11-12 minutes.
• Remove from sheet promptly and let cool on cookie rack.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325.
• Let the dates soak in the hot water until softened, about ten minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl.
• In a separate bowl, beat the beans until mashed.
• Blend or food process the dates until a thick paste is formed. An immersion blender is helpful for this step.
• Add the melted butter, date paste, white sugar, eggs, and vanilla to the beans one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
• Gradually stir in the flour mixture until just combined.
• Stir in the chocolate chips, oats, coconut and pecans.
• Drop cookies by spoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheet and flatten some because they will not spread out naturally, and bake for 9-10 minutes. Even if the cookies do not look quite done, take them out and let them cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet, during which time they should finish cooking. (I am not talking about really undone cookies, just ones that look like they need a minute or two more to bake).
• Tip: I can never eat an entire batch of cookies before they go bad, so I bake up what I want right away, form the rest of the dough into cookie-sized balls or discs, and freeze them in a container between layers of waxed paper. You only have to add a minute or two more to the baking time for frozen cookie dough.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in bowl.
• In a very large bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer at medium speed until smooth and creamy. Gradually beat in sugars, and combine thoroughly.
• Add eggs one at a time, beating after each. Beat in vanilla.
• Stir in flour mixture until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips, oats, coconut and pecans.
• For each cookie, drop 1/4 cup dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing 3 inches apart.
• Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, until edges are lightly browned; rotate sheets halfway through. Remove cookies from rack to cool.
