Guest guest Posted December 19, 2001 Report Share Posted December 19, 2001 I have never before submitted a recipe (I am no great chef) but these cookies were so quick and easy I thought someone out there might want to give them a try. We mixed equal parts apple sauce and natural peanut butter together and then added coconut and rolled oats until we had a 'rollable'/formable mixture. We threw some raisins and crushed breakfast cereal into the mix and then made balls which we rolled in crushed cereal. (We used a flake type cereal but I think others would work as well) When we were finished, we put them in the fridge and let them set for around 30 minutes. I have also made this type of cookie and baked it for 10 minutes and that worked. Sorry there are no measurements but that's what I loved about these cookies. And, when I say 'we', I mean my 21mo old and myself. He helped out and there was no chance of his messing up the recipe.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2001 Report Share Posted December 19, 2001 Thanks for sharing this, I'll be trying it with my 28 months old! She loves to help me in the kitchen! Just a question, did you use homemade applesauce? If so, how do you make it? Because I follow the fit for Life Principles so I always prefer not to cook fruits...

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2001 Report Share Posted December 19, 2001 Madeline, Thanks so much for the cookie recipe! Sounds like fun we'll try this tonight. My 22 mo. loves to cook too and eventhough he doesn't follow the recipes (I don't either for that matter) we haven't had anything we couldn't eat yet! :-) Thanks to you and your little chef!

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2001 Report Share Posted December 20, 2001 Elisa I used an unsweetened organic applesauce from the hfs. In the past, I have made my own applesauce by peeling, coring and slicing apples, adding cinnamon and boiling for 20 minutes. This lasts at least a few weeks if stored in a jar in the fridge. If you prefer not to cook your fruit, maybe you could try to puree apples in a blender/food processor. Or just go with chunks! :)Madeline > " ~*~*Elisa*~*~ " <elisa.bieg > > >Re: Quick Xmas cookies >Wed, 19 Dec 2001 15:31:18 +0100 > >Thanks for sharing this, I'll be trying it with my 28 months old!
