I have been baking quite a lot of muffins over the past few weeks. So I wanted to try some cookies this time. I have been storing bran flakes crumbs and saw that it had collected considerably. That's when I jumped over here to look for some recipe ideas and found this cookie recipe.
I had all the ingredients in hand and got down to the job right away. The cookie started out crispy but did turn chewy after a while. I wanted to add some toasted walnuts too but then I wouldn't be able to pack it for my son's lunch. So if you are not worried about nut allergies do add some toasted nuts for an extra crunch.

- 1 and ½ cups whole wheat pastry flour

- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup butter, softened
- ¾ cup coconut palm sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ener-G egg replacer powder
- 3 tablespoons water
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 and ½ cups bran flakes cereal
- ¾ cup dried cranberries
- ¾ cup white chocolate chips
Substitutions

- bran flakes cereal - any other high fiber cereal
- dried cranberries - other dried fruits like apricots raisins, etc
- white chocolate chips - any other chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven at 350F/180c for 15 minutes. Prepare cookie sheet(s) by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In a large bowl cream together the butter and sugar. Beat in the egg replacer powder, water and vanilla extract.
- Stir in the flour mix until well combined.
- Add the bran flakes, dried cranberries and white chocolate chips.
- Scoop out a tablespoonful of dough for each cookie and place it on the prepared pan. I rolled it and then flattened it slightly. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove the cookie sheets from the oven and leave the cookies on the sheet itself for about 5 minutes. Then cool the cookies completely on a wire rack before storing it in an air-tight container.

When baking the chocolate cake what can i replace silken tofu with?

You can try yogurt or unsweetened applesauce.
Puja says
Looks tempting. I like the raisin bran muffin recipe and make them often. Would love to try this as well.
Question: Can I use flax seeds powder instead of Ener_G egg replacer? And if so, how much quantity would you recommend?
Thanks!
Madhuram says
Thanks Puja. You can use 1 tablespoon of flax seed powder with 3 tablespoons of water. But the cookies will turn out to be soft and chewy.
