Have you ever tried the Cosmic Cookie from Planet Organic? Well if you have, you know that they are dynamite, full of seeds, sugar, spelt flour and canola oil, but yummy. Super calorie dense as you may imagine. I used to make them years ago when I seemed to burn through calories like crazy. Since going gluten free, I haven’t had a cosmic cookie in ages.
My office is right by Planet Organic which means I am there often. Whenever I stop at the deli for lunch or a coffee I still drool a little when I look at them from the other side of the glass. Today I decided it was time I recreate them, remove the gluten, reduce the sugar and take out the canola oil and soy milk. I might say the mission has been accomplished and they taste pretty much identical.
Now obvs I can’t call them Cosmic Cookies so I am calling them Everything Cookies because they have everything in them that you could possibly want in a cookie. Like chocolate, duh and oats, coconut, flax, chia, maple syrup and well, everything.
