Cannellini bean cookies
The term 'baked beans' takes on a whole new meaning with these cannellini bean chocolate cookies –cookies made from bean purée. I first heard about these flour free - fat free cookies from my younger sister but found that bean paste has long been a key ingredient in Asian Confectionery. Cannellini beans tend to have a rather bland taste unless accompanied by secondary ingredients-which make them ideal for making cookies - add berries or cocoa powder to make different flavored ones. When blended (with skin) the beans form a smooth cookie dough texture-silkier than cookie press dough! Best of all it does not require any butter, oils or milk.
