My boyfriend found this recipe via reddit (looking at pictures of food), and we decided to give them a try. I really liked the flavors and the fact that it was a healthier cookie (the blog with the recipe claims less than 90 calories a cookie). The texture was a bit strange - never really got crispy and thinned out a bit, though the blog pictures make them look like hers were normal so I'm not sure why ours didn't turn out that way. We followed the recipe, so I can't really figure out what happened. Anyway, let me know what happens if you try them!
I did really like cooking with strawberries. The more I do it, the more I like it - my strawberry cake and these cookies and at work we have strawberry muffins that are delicious. I really like the way they sweeten as they bake and moisten the bread around them really nicely. Throw them in something and hopefully you'll like them too!
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup oats (not instant)
dash of salt
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg, large
3/4 cup chopped fresh strawberries
1/3 cup white chocolate chips
In a large bowl, whisk flours, oats, salt and baking soda together. Set aside. In another bowl, beat applesauce, butter and vanilla with a handheld mixer on low speed. Add in egg and beat until full mixed.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet mixture and stir well. Gently fold in strawberries (so they don’t mash) and chocolate chips. Mix until fully combined. Cover the dough with plastic wrap or foil and let chill in fridge for at least 2 hours.
Once chilled, remove dough from fridge. Preheat oven to 350F and grease a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough onto the sheet, about 1/2 inch from each-other.
Bake for 10 – 12 minutes, or until cookies are golden brown. Chill on a wire cooling rack and then enjoy!
