Mysterious Bolivia Cookies


( Requested By :


P. Sullivan.)





Ingredients


陆 cup splenda or a mix of honey and splenda ( try to avoid sugar)


6 tablespoons solid vegetable fat or butter


1/8 teaspoon salt


3 table spoon of strong coca tea ( 3 bags in a cup sited for 5 to 10 minutes)


5 or 6 bags of coca tea


1/2 lime or lemon


1 egg ( I love to add an extra one)


About 2-1/3 cups flour, or enough to make a medium soft dough





Instructions











Put fat, salt, liquid coca tea into a bowl, and work with a spoon until creamy.


Add the splenda gradually, stirring constantly until well creamed and white.


Use a mortar or food processor to make a fine powder from the coca tea bags and mix it with the flour.


Mix in the well beaten egg(s), and fold in the flour to a rather soft dough.


Divide into 2 or 3 pieces so as to be handled more easily, and roll out on a well floured board to 1/4 inch thickness.


Cut with a floured biscuit cutter, lay in baking pan, and bake in a medium oven (325 F) .


Line two baking sheets with parchment or Silpats and transfer the cookies to the baking sheets.


Gather the leftover dough and re-roll (and re-chill if necessary) and cut.


Bake each sheet about 15-20 minutes or until the cookies are firm and just starting to color.


Rotate each sheet halfway through for more even baking.


Put cookies on a cooling rack and allow to cool completely.


Will keep in an airtight container for 3-4 weeks.


These cookies are ideal for complementing a healthy diet.Anybody have some low calorie cookie recipes?
I don't know, but I ALWAYS put 1/3 less sugar in every cookie recipe I make. I have done it this way for years, and nobody notices. In fact, everyone says they love my cookies.


You can also substitute applesauce or mashed ripe bananas for oil in most baking recipes.


Try doing a search for cookie recipes with oatmeal and raisins. Then reduce the sugar and add applesauce. They are actually better, and more moist prepared this way.

Blend in flour, baking soda and salt. Mix chocolate chips into batter.


Scoop batter in 1/2 tablespoon mounds on sheet, one inch apart. Be sure to make all cookies approximately the same size and thickness, allowing them to bake uniformly.


Bake 12 to 14 minutes until cookies are golden. Remove from oven. They will become crispy when cooled.
