Healthy Pumpkin CookiesThese healthy pumpkin cookies get their health qualities from the whole-wheat flour, rolled oats and Okara. All are known for their healthy benefits and you get to enjoy them in a pumpkin cookie. Not to mention the Pumpkin, which is a vegetable and also healthy. You know your Mom always said eat your vegetables. Well just have yours in a cookie! Okara is the pulp, or residue, leftover from making soymilk. It's healthy because it's full of fiber-- both soluble and non-soluble. It also contains protein, calcium, iron and B vitamins. Firm Tofu blended in the food processor until it's smooth is a good substitute. Healthy Pumpkin Cookies1/2 cup white whole wheat flour (Regular whole wheat is OK) Preheat oven to 375F. Mix the dry ingredients (flour through salt) in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar. Beat in the okara, pumpkin, and vanilla extract, until well blended. Add the flour mixture a little at a time to the wet ingredients, stirring well after each addition. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded tablespoons of dough at least two inches apart on a half sheet pan lined with a silpat baking mat or parchment paper. Bake the pumpkin cookies for 10-14 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Don't tell the kiddies these are healthy pumpkin cookies! You Might Need:
