    I made these not too long ago. it says it only makes 30 cookies, but my mix made about 40, but maybe my heaping teaspoons weren't as big as theirs. :)

    When I feel like baking, I make dog biscuits. Nothing for me to be tempted by and my dog loves it!

    Make a cake with Pumpkin puree instead of the wet ingredients.
    or brownies with black bean puree instead of the wet ingredients.

    you cannot even tell and I actually love the pumpkin in the cake, makes it better to me! :smile:

    have fun!

    I love baking for the family,I know i'm going to find it difficult to resist so i'm just going to avoid doing any baking till my willpower is stronger.

    I bake cookies every Monday for my husband who is a real cookie monster. I treat myself on that day to 2 cookies.

    Do you have a juicer? There are some nice cookies and muffins you can make with the carrot pulp. (And speaking of dog biscuits, my dog likes the carrot cookies too!)
