There are lots of cookie mixes we could buy, but there is something about making them homemade that is very appealing. Back at Auburn we used to make Mr. Mikes's Cookies. (Don’t ask me who Mr. Mike is.) Anyway, I recently came across the recipe. They are so healthy that you could actually eat them for breakfast! Here's what you'll need:
2 & 1/4 cups of gluten free flour or completely grain free super fine almond flour. ( Bob's Red Mill makes both of these.)
1/3 cup of melted butter or 1/3 cup of peanut butter
1 egg
1/2 cup of honey
Opt. 1/2 cup each of carob chips (or dark chocolate chips), chopped pecans and/or coconut flakes
Pre-heat oven to 350 and spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray. (We use coconut oil cooking spray.) In a mixing bowl using a large spoon (or better yet a beater from your mixer) combine all ingredients except the flour. Then add flour and mix. Form small medium sized balls and roll them around a few times in your hands to smooth out cracks. You then put them on the pan about 1 inch apart. Flatten the balls down with a spatula and bake for 12 to 14 minutes.
Makes about 10 medium or 16 small sized cookies
