I'm under "strict" orders to get my cholestrol (sp)down in no time flat...plus I've recently been put on blood pressure medication ~ I've lost over 23 pounds in the last year, so weight ins't the problem (I'm @ 125) and I don't have diabetes -- But I do want to make Something for the holidays, that won't spike up my numbers for the heart or blood. I'm so not looking forward to not having any goodies thru the holiday, and I'm jus' dyin' to make up a batch of these cookies. But then I have to stop an' think of what my next check up will show. Yee Gads -- not another lecture from my Doc!!
Anybody got any ideas for me? Le' me know, 'k?

Swap the butter out for a lower cholestorol product - I know they are out there but I can't think of one at the moment. I Can't Believe It's Not Butter (I think) has a half butter half spread bar for baking that is made with omega 3 oils.
Then sub the evap milk for a ff version and you should have a pretty good product.
If the peanut butter bothers you - try tahini.
Good luck with the checkup.
You should look into herbs - I can't remember which one helps with cholestorol (aren't I just full of half information today) but my mom used cinnamon and turmeric and couldn't believe the results she got. |

>>  <<Thanx Sara! -- my brain was in park this morning when I was reading the rec. for the cookies -- I'll try 'em with a bit of the "Can't Believe it's Not Butter" -- that particular brand is on sale over at one of the area grocery stores. And I don't have a big problem w/peanut butter -- I think it'll be ok as far as my cholst. numbers.
I'm currently using a natural tablet to lower those Nahhsty #'s for my cholst. -- "Cholest Health" -- made with the primary ingredient of Cinnamon (cinnamomum cassia) -- it tastes wonderful. Well, as long as I drink it down w/ milk - o - water. I tried orange juice the other morning an....oohh boy...That was a bad idea!!
My Doc. immediately put me on blood press. meds @ my last visit. I'd gone in for a stuiped ear infection, & once he looked at my reading he about went thru the roof. 179/120 -- yup. I kept saying it was because of the commute up to Norf., but he only tapped his fingers on the desk.."My Dear", he sez, "your Mother had this, remember?" "Noo!! I'm in Denial!!" So much for That Argument!!
I'm gonna shop for the ingred. to these cookies & use the stuff you suggested. Sounds soo good...I jus' have to keep tom away from them!! LOL

My ungraciously titled "Boiled Cookies" calls for the following:
2 cups sugar
3 Tbs cocoa
1/2 cup water
1 stick butter--I usually use margarine
Mix and bring to a boil and boil one minute
ADD: 1 tsp vanilla and 3/4 cup peanut butter
MIX well, then stir in 4 cups quick oats.
Drop by spoon on waxed paper and cool.
We have never used anything but water as our liquid.
Hope this helps. I also have a recipe for Rice Krispie treats that are not made with marshmallow creme.

| I have made these cookies "forever", However sometimes we would have to eat them with a spoon, because they wouldn't set up. I found that using a candy thermometer and boiling them until they reach about 250 degrees makes them turn out perfect every time. The recipe I use is pretty much the same as everyone elses. Good Luck!! |
