I mentioned the cool Twitter party gift I won from Canadian Lentils a few posts back when I featured my Lentil Chili. Well I have been playing around with lentils again and made a variation of a recipe that is in The Big Book of Little Lentils cookbook that I received as part of my gift.

This time we are going sweet with some cookies! And they are beyond fantastic.

For this recipe you need to make a lentil puree. That is simply cooking lentils until they are done then pureeing them in a food processor. I didn’t add any extra water to the cooked lentils.

Tonight, I made a batch of lentil brownies! They are still cooling but I have high hopes that they will be just as amazing as the cookies.

  1. These cookies sound amazing – so unusual and such a great way to sneak in a healthy ingredient. I’ve been experimenting a lot with lentils lately, too, and am learning all kinds of new ways to cook them. Haven’t tried cookies yet, but you’ve got me inspired!

    1. They really were fantastic!
      The great thing about lentils are they can carry any flavor you choose to add to them so the possibilities are endless.
      I also made brownies which were even better then the cookies!
      Post to come shortly.

      Thanks so much for stopping by. Let me know what kind of cookies you come up with.
