I wasn't sure if this recipe would be good when I was making it, but after the first bite, I realized why this one was in my mom's cookbook.

Ingredients:

1/2 Pound Tofu (I used silken)

3/4 Cup Soy milk

1 tsp Sugar

1 tsp Vanilla

1/4 tsp Salt

1/4 tsp Nutmeg

6 slices bread (this is what the original recipe said, but I used up most of the loaf)

Oil for cooking

1. Combine all ingredients but bread in food processor, and puree until smooth.
2. Transfer into a large, shallow dish.
3. Dip bread, turning several times to coat each side.
4. Cook in preheated pan, until golden brown on each side.

I love making these cookies for crowds that want to cut down on sugar, because they have no sugar! The original recipe has 2 Tbsp of brown sugar so if you find they are not sweet enough for you feel free to add that!

Ingredients:

1 Cup unsweetened flaked coconut

1 Cup Flour (I used whole wheat)

1 tsp Salt

1 1/2 Cup Shredded Carrots or diced apple

2 Tbsp Brown Sugar (I do not put this in)

1/3 Cup Agave

1 tsp Vanilla

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Mix together coconut, flour, and salt in a mixer or bowl.
3. Add carrot or apple, and brown sugar if using, and mix again.
4. Add rest of the ingredients, and blend till smooth.
5. Scoop or roll into balls, and place on a prepared baking sheet to bake for 15-20 mins.
6. The cookies will not change shape and should be light brown on the bottom when removed from oven.
