1 Review of Shredded Wheat Cookies

Woot, another recipe made for getting rid of cereal I don't like (been a fanatic of these for a long while lol). Here is my version: I had no baking powder, so I didn't use it, not sure how it would've affected my cookies, but they came out fine. I used Cinnamon shredded wheat, crushed finely. I only used 3/4 brown sugar since I figured the cereal had sugar also. I used about 1/4 butter and 3/4 cup applesauce for a healthier version (and I also didn't have enough butter). I also added 1/4 c. wheat since it was wet and me being paranoid, I wanted the batter to be thicker. And instead of chips, I added 2 small apples, chopped. Result: yummy cookies that didn't expand but rose like biscuits. The cookies were not aesthetically pleasing, but were really delicious. They were really soft and dense cookies also. These were really good, next time I'll try the recipe as intended and maybe add walnuts. This one's a keeper.
