Health Nut Hermits

1 cup applesauce

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup cold coffee

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 teaspoon almond extract

3 cups whole-wheat pastry flour

1 cup wheat germ

1/2 cup soy flour

1 tablespoon egg replacer

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup walnuts, roughly chopped

3/4 cup golden raisins

3/4 cup dried cranberries

1/2 cup dried currants

safflower oil for cookie sheets

 

In a large bowl, place the applesauce, brown sugar, coffee, vanilla, and

almond extract; stir well to combine, and set aside.

In a medium bowl, stir together the pastry flour, wheat germ, soy flour, egg

replacer, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to

the wet ingredients and stir well to combine. Fold in the remaining ingredients.

Using a little safflower oil, lightly oil (or mist with oil) two non-stick

cookie sheets. Working in batches, drop the cookie dough by rounded teaspoonfuls

on to the prepared cookie sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.

Bake the cookies at 375 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown on

the bottom. Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheets for 2 minutes before

transferring them to a rack to cool completely.

Repeat the portioning and baking procedure for the remaining cookie dough.

Store the cookies in an airtight container.

Makes 4 dozen.
