Bean cookies
Maybe I should have done a calorie analysis beforehand, the name itself should have provided that hint. We made smaller cookies than Heidi recommended and got 34 cookies from her recipe. Each one is about 100 calories; Heidi’s would be 200 per cookie. Now I know why she calls them marathon cookies. The original recipe can be found here.
This has an interesting array of cookie ingredients – white kidney beans, dates, sesame seeds, and aniseed.

Pecan coffee cookies

Pecan, Coffee, Butter...
I am a fan of Heidi Swanson’s unusual combination of ingredients and textures. Original recipe for this cookie can be found here.
I did some variations. Like I chopped the pecans by hand instead of making a fine meal. Why? I like using a knife – a bit of blood, sweat and tears always makes the food taste better. Kidding!
