Dark Chocolate Cookies Sweetened BY CARROTS!!!

I like to play with food when Maximus takes long naps. This afternoon I made dark chocolate cookies but I wanted to mess around with sweeteners. I don't know how carrots popped into my head, but I pureed a bunch in my processor and strained them. Here's what I did:

• heaping cup of quinoa flour mixed with whole wheat (maybe half and half- heavier on the quinoa)
• dark chocolate cocoa- I never measure, I'm sorry, but maybe a heavy 1/4 cup?
  
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• bit of salt

Just like any old cookie recipe- mix those in a separate bowl.

• 1 stick Earth Balance (vegan butter stuff) softened
  
• molasses- I dunked a spoon in twice
  
• carrot juice and pulp
• 1 second pour vanilla extract
• 2 egg whites

In two or three portions, combine the dry with the wet ingredients. Then add some dark chocolate and white chocolate chips (I know, horrible for you- I used them sparingly) Bake at 350 until they're done. Makes 12.

I stood by the oven until they were done expecting them to totally suck. But guess what? They didn't suck at all! I even did a little "happy dance" whilst chewing my cookie! Cha-ching!
