Submitted by RainbowBubbles

"These are the cookies I make for exam time- they provide slow-release energy and are full of nutrition. They're also nice with 1/2 cup raisins added."

This recipe is missing a liquid ingredient. It says add soy milk but it doesn't say how much. I'd say at least 1/3 cup.

Made many changes to these: for more flavour, I cooked the quinoa in orange juice; I subbed the oil for sweet potato purée (baby food); I reduced sugar to 1/4 cup; I also added 1/4 cup of goji berries, 1/4 cup currants, 1/4 cup of milk, 1 tsp 4-spice, and 1 egg. They turned out pretty good - not the best cookies I've ever had, but for their nutritional value, they're totally worth making! I only gave 4 stars because I imagine they must be pretty bland if made according to recipe and extremely dry without the milk and egg. A chewy cookie required 15 minutes of baking.Yield: 18 cookies
