These cookies were sweet but not overwhelming which made them the ultimate dessert. I used red lentils and they turned out creamy and sticky. I used a cookie scooper to place them on the cookie sheet. Yummy!

Just finished making these. Taste great. A couple of points – the mixture was quite sticky so perhaps use a small spring loaded ice cream scoop instead of trying to roll balls with your hands. I used tinned green lentils – seem fine. I cooked for 12 minutes but they turned out soft (almost muffin like), so might need to be a bit longer in the oven. Great way to use up the Coronavirus lentil tins I bought!

You will be left with extra – I used my extra to make lentil mac and cheese https://sugarspiceandglitter.com/?p=8792 but it’s better to be left with extra than not enough! When I measured the 2 to 2 1/2 cups, there is air and room around the lentils, and then the blender condenses it into a paste. You could try blending just 1 or 1 1/4 cups and seeing if that makes enough?

The red ones are really thin – I usually use the darker French lentils in cooking but the red ones took on the flavor of the cookies nicer.

Don’t believe I have ever used red. Apparently they are tinier?
My hubby (an engineer) said 2 to 2 1-2 c and you get 3/4 c out if that?? I don’t get it either.
Recipe looks soooo yum. Can’t wait to try!

Hi Nada,
I made a lentil puree, it took approximately 2 to 2 and a half cups of cooked lentils mixed with a few Tablespoons of milk to make 3/4 cup of the puree. The most important measurement is the 3/4 cup puree – it should be about the consistency of peanut butter.
