MARTIAN COOKIES



Martian Cookies image

We had a cooking class at Children's Hospital in Orange, CA. These were a favorite for the patients and adults. You should have been there to smell the wonderful scent of cookies right out of the oven and see the children's faces!!! I think these are called martian cookies because of the green flecks, and they are out of this world!!

MY LOWER FAT MARTIAN COOKIES



My Lower Fat Martian Cookies image

I love my Recipe #78009 as does my husband, but it has a lot more butter then really I want to use on a regular basis. A gift of some zucchinis prompted me to try and reduce the fat a little. This has not become a health cookie, but they tasted quite good and I didn't want to lose my proportions. You might also notice that this batch is double the original. It's because I usually double it plus I noticed in reviews that some others do too. I made these really big and so only got about 55 cookies. If you make them smaller you will, of course, get more cookies!

Time 30m

Yield 55-70 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 17

5 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/8 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup Splenda sugar substitute
1/2 cup unrefined unbleached cane sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup white bean flour
4 egg whites
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups quick-cooking oatmeal
2 cups coarsely shredded unpeeled zucchini
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • With a mixer blend the butter and applesauce. Add the sugars and the Splenda and beat well. It will never get fluffy and it might have little specks of butter in with the applesauce. This is just fine.
  • Add the egg whites and the vanilla and mix well.
  • Add the 2 flours, the cinnamon, the baking soda, and the salt. Using the low setting on the mixer blend in the flour.
  • Using a spoon add the oatmeal, zucchini, and chips. (I ran out of chocolate and used more butterscotch. Use what you would like to end up with 2 cups of chips).
  • Drop onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes or until they are starting to brown.

MARTIAN COOKIES (ZUCCHINI & LOTS OF OTHER STUFF!)



Martian Cookies (Zucchini & lots of other stuff!) image

I found these online many years ago. I think they are called martian cookies because of the green zucchini flecks. My husband loves them and has asked for them repeatedly, but I had lost the recipe. I haven't made them in awhile and therefore the serving size is approximate.
