For all you dieters out there, try this low fat receipe for Carrot & Cinnamon Cookies and see how you get on with them. Any feedback would be welcome from you all.
No nasties in these Tilly!
Carrot & Cinnamon Cookies
Makes about 500g of cookies
Preheat over to 350F (180C)
4 cups whole wheat flour
½ cup cornmeal
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup chopped carrot
½ cup water
2 tbsp canola oil (for low fat version use water instead)
2 tbsp liquid honey
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla
In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal and cinnamon. In a food processor, combine carrot, water, oil, honey, egg and vanilla. Puree until smooth. Pour over dry ingredients and stir until well incorporated.
In the bowl and using hands, knead until dough holds together. Transfer to lightly floured surface. Using a rolling pin, roll out dough to about 1/8-inch (3mm) thickness.
With a fork, poke holes all over the surface of the dough. Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut dough into bite-size rectangles or squares. Place about ½-inch (1cm) apart on baking sheets.
Bake in preheated oven, in batches if necessary, for 20 minutes or until firm. Place pans on racks and let cool completely. Reduce oven temperature to 300F (150C). Bake for 30 minutes longer, or until hard. Transfer cookies to a rack and let cool completely. Store in a tightly sealed container for up to 30 days.
hello i'm all geared up to try these for Phoebe, since she is another lab that needs to put her paw up and admit to being on a diet, but just one question- what's cornmeal please
Thanks,
Sarah
You can buy cornmeal in places like Morrisons, it's pale yellow and a bit rougher than flour. I got a packet from the section where they sell packets of Indian spices and gram and chappati flour. Hope that helps.
Here's definition: This is a granular flour ground from dried kernels of yellow or white corn, with the husk and germ almost completely removed, but as it retains some of the corn’s hull and germ, it is more nutritious.
Oh okay, now I feel even dafter than usual! Thank you for the advice though. I shall pop along and get some then maybe I can make some to welcome Phoebes home from kennels
