Best Mesquite Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipes
CHOCOLATE MESQUITE COOKIES
I found this recipe on the internet while doing a search for "mesquite powder," which I bought to make Crock Pot Pulled Pork (recipe #132049, which I recommend). Intrigued by the unusual ingredients, I have not been able to identify the original source, but have subsequently modified the recipe anyway. As cookies go, these are nutritious - the honey and mesquite have a wonderful caramel rich synergy and the cookies form an attractive crackle pattern like gingersnaps. Be careful not to overbake - watch carefully and go on the light side of done when you take them out. I used "raw organic mesquite powder" by Health Matters, found at my local health food store.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 375. In a large bowl whisk together flour, mesquite flour baking soda, baking powder and salt.
- 2. This dough is pretty stiff so I recommend using a stand mixer. In the mixing bowl cream butter and sugar until well combined. Add eggs 1 at a time until completely incorporated. Add vanilla.
- 3. Add flour mixture in 3 batches, incorporating well with each addition.
- 4. Stir in chocolate chips, and if you like 2 cups of rolled oats.
- 5. Drop dough by the spoonful on a cooking sheet. Do not crowd. Depending on how big you make the cookies will determine how long you bake them. I found 10 minutes for a 2 teasp. dollop of dough per cookie is about right if you like your chocolate chips cookies soft and chewy. Do not over bake!!!!
- 6. After the cookies come out of the oven, tap them lightly with the back of a spoon to flatten slightly. Let them cool on the cookie sheet for about 10 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.
- 7. Enjoy!!
