I know what you're thinking and I felt the same way. But these are scrum-dilly (and I *hate* tofu) and very low in fat. Each cookie has about 75 calories, 11 grams of carbohydrate, and 2 grams of protein.
- 10 oz Silken Firm Tofu
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/3 cup Canola Oil
- 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 tsp Pure Almond Extract
- 1 1/2 cup Rolled Oats
- 1 cup All-purpose Flour
- 1 1/2 tsp Cinammon, Ground
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 cup Raisins
Preheat oven to 375. Lightly coat a baking sheet with canola oil or nonstick spray. Puree tofu, add sugars and oil. Add extracts. Add oatmeal and stir to combine.
Combine flour, salt, cinnamon and baking powder in medium bowl and mix well. Add dry ingredients to tofu mixture in thirds, mixing after each addition until all ingredients are moist. Add raisins last.
Roll 2 T dough into a ball and set on baking sheet. Repeat for remaining dough. Wet hands and flatten cookies before baking. FLATTEN THEM TO LOOK LIKE A COOKIE. BECAUSE THERE IS NO BUTTER, THEY WILL NOT SPREAD. Bake 10-12 minutes, until golden.
