Cocoa Gingersnap Cookies

The cookie monster in me came out this weekend.

The Recipe:
Ingredients:

•  1/2 cup whole grain brown rice flour
•  1/2 cup teff flour
•  3/4 cup buckwheat flour
•  2 tbsp pea fibre
•  2 tbsp dark cocoa powder
•  1 tsp baking powder
•  1/2 tsp salt
•  1 cup cottage cheese
•  1/2 cup low fat cream cheese
•  1 egg
•  1/2 cup brown sugar
•  3 tbsp fresh ground ginger
•  1 tbsp granulated sugar

Sift and mix flours, pea fibres, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Process cottage cheese or push it through a sieve, and mix with cream cheese, egg, brown sugar, and ginger. Combine dry ingredients into the wet to form a dough. Shape into small round dough balls and squash slightly. Roll in granulated sugar if desired and bake in a 350F oven for 20 to 25 minutes until cookie is crispy. Let cool a bit and enjoy (with a glass of milk)! 

Cookie dough. The white specks are bits of cottage cheese. They will not be visible after baking. 

yum yum!
