That's a good idea, wish I would have thought of it before I made the cookies. I also could have popped the amaranth first (in a heavy, dry pan over medium high heat) to make it easier to eat.Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14108059997977496770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16712604.post-82605750780054975322009-01-07T11:41:00.000-08:002009-01-07T11:41:00.000-08:00oh thanks Sergio 4 mentioning the seeds can be gro...oh thanks Sergio 4 mentioning the seeds can be ground in a coffee grinder! I got one for Christmas! :)<BR/>Marc, I wonder if you soaked/cooked the amaranth seeds 1st and then added to the cookie dough?KeRobinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17668770159585613150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16712604.post-26480255157154227522007-01-29T22:57:00.000-08:002007-01-29T22:57:00.000-08:00Sergio --

I know I can get the whole grain at my favorite local grocery, but will have to keep my eyes open for the flakes.Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14108059997977496770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16712604.post-1169913480104630482007-01-27T07:58:00.000-08:002007-01-27T07:58:00.000-08:00Hello!Hey, good idea for the amaranth seeds, but s...Hello!<BR/><BR/>Hey, good idea for the amaranth seeds, but sadly amaranth takes too long to cook. For a similarly powerful protein, gluten-free and whole grain-ness, I would suggest you try quinoa. There is a quinoa cookie out there that is interesting: www.andeandream.com which uses quinoa flour and some whole quinoa in it. <BR/><BR/>I would suggest the same- you can get flour by grinding quinoa in your coffee grinder.<BR/><BR/>I think that the best option would be to use quinoa flakes (rolled quinoa) in your cookie- they cook almost instantly and provide all the nutritional benefits. I can send you a sample if you want.<BR/><BR/>Check here for some recipes:<BR/><BR/>http://www.andeannaturals.com/AN/Recipes/Recipes.html<BR/><BR/>SergioAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
