Hi Chari. Just wanted to find someone who's enjoying the GI Diet, and could share ideas etc. I was on atkins, and lost some weight, no complaint there, but it's too hard to stick to when I'm so busy, and going out all the time. It's nice to find someone who's also eating this way. lol just didn't want to be alone while learning this. Tks for the answer, I'll continue to follow your site if that's ok.

I hope someone is brave enough to make these.



Lentil Cookies
Recipe courtesy Alton Brown, 2006 (with changes)

Ingredients:
9 1/2 ounces whole-wheat pastry flour, approximately 2 cups*
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
8 ounces sugar, approximately 1 cup (substitute Splenda or other sugar sub)
6 ounces unsalted butter, room temperature, approximately 3/4 cup (substitute Smart Balance or other healthy fat)
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups lentil puree, recipe follows
3 1/2 ounces rolled oats, approximately 1 cup
4 ounces dried fruit, approximately 1 cup (unsweteed)
2 1/4 ounces unsweetened dried shredded coconut, approximately 1 cup

*Cook's Note: If desired, a quarter of the whole-wheat flour can be substituted with lentil flour for a denser, stronger flavored cookie

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and allspice.

In the bowl of a stand-mixer with a whisk attachment, cream together the sugar and butter on medium speed. Add the egg and mix until just incorporated. Add the vanilla and lentil puree and mix until combined. Add the flour mixture and blend on low speed until just combined. Remove the bowl from the mixer and stir in the oats, dried fruit and coconut.

Form the dough into balls about 2 teaspoons in size and place on a baking sheet with parchment paper, leaving about 1-inch of room in between. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 195 degrees F is reached on an instant-read thermometer.


Lentil Puree:
4 ounces lentils, approximately 2/3 cup, picked over and rinsed
2 cups water

In a small pot over medium heat, combine the lentils and the water. Bring to a simmer, cover, and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, or until lentils are tender. Remove from the heat and puree. If using immediately, let cool. The puree may be stored in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days or in the freezer for 2 to 3 months.
Yield: 1 1/2 cups lentil puree
