The ingredients for Modified Lentil Cookies are:

Creaming Phase:
3/4 Cup Margarine
3/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
1 Large Egg
1 tsp Vanilla extract (I didn't have the 2 called for!)
1 tsp Almond extract (compensating for above)
Lentil Paste: amount extracted from 4 oz (about 1 cup) of dried red lentils. See instructions

Dry Phase
9.5 Oz AP flour (estimated 2.5 cups)
1 tsp baking powder
0.5 tsp salt.
1 tsp powdered ginger
0.5 tsp fresh ground cassia cinnamon

Chunky Phase
1/4 cup Pecans
2/3 cup unsweetened coconut
1 cup rolled quick oats

Here is how you make Modified Lentil Cookies:

(Makes 36 little ping-pong ball sized cookies)Lentil Paste: See original recipe, OR boil your 4 oz of lentils in a pot until tender (mine were split lentils and took 15 minutes to cook in 2 cups of water. Whole lentils will take longer). Drain your lentils and then puree in a food processor, blender, etc, or you could mash them by hand if you were feeling persistent. Cool the resulting paste, and then use in cookies!Heat your oven to 375 FahrenheitUsing the creaming method, beat your creaming phase ingredients together. (C'mon! You can google it!)Once all homogenized, slowly add your Dry phase items, while mixing at a slow speed. If your hand mixer is on high speed, flour will go everywhere. You have been warned.When that is all combined, add in your chunky phase, and fold it in until evenly distributed.Take a sheet pan covered in parchment paper and form your cookies in to about 36 cookies, of about 2 TBSP volume each. We're shooting for a ping-pong ball sized lump. The dough will be sticky. Lay the lumps 1 inch apart from each other on the sheet and bake for 15-17 minutes.Enjoy!Number of Servings: 36Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SHIAMI.
