Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cooked lentils
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.75 cup Chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, blend the cooked lentils until smooth. Set aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until well combined.
Fold in the blended lentils until evenly incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in the chocolate chips by hand using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
