As my family and I were getting ready for a conference, I was trying to come up with a good grab and go snack. One we would want to eat and wouldn't take any work. I came up with a cookie recipe with lots of good stuff in it. I call them power cookies.
Power Cookies
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
1 cup butter (or 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup peanut butter)
1 cup rapadura (or 1/2 cup white sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar)
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup cranberries or raisins
1 cup finely chopped nuts
1 cup chocolate chips
Cream together butter and sugar. Add in eggs and vanilla and blend. Mix in salt and baking soda. Gently stir in fruit, nuts and chocolate chips until evenly distributed. Drop by tablespoon onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 9-11 minutes at 375 degrees. Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
When I remember to make these they usually help a lot in getting through a busy week.
