Amaranth Drop Cookies, no sugar/no butter
Main recipe page
This recipe is ideal for anyone who doesn't want the insulin swings,
osteoporosis, increased risk of diabetes, excess body fat, and tooth decay that come from
eating refined sugar. It's also ideal for anyone who doesn't want the clogged arteries and
saturated fat that butter provides. These cookies contain required-for-health unsaturated
fats. And they are delicious!

Substitution notes |

- Do not replace sugars with non-sugars.

The cookies will be soft, and they are entirely dunkable! These use no saturated fat or
processed sugar.
The high protein of the amaranth and soy will nourish your muscles. The fat in these is
the kind your body needs for healthy nerves and tissue, as well as for the metabolism of
other fats. The fruits provide fiber and (except for the raisins) low-glycemic
sugar.
