Chestnut Cookies

5 egg whites, whipped or beaten
1/4 cup of Lundberg brown rice syrup (<1gm fat/tbs) 1 1/3 cups of flour (I used unbleached white) 1 1/3 cups of roasted chestnuts, finely ground Whip egg whites, whip in the brown rice syrup (add more if you like very sweet, but note that most chestnuts are naturally sweet on their own). When you add the brown rice syrup to the whipped whites, they will go a bit flat. Not to worry, the recipe works anyway. Mix the flour with the chestnuts, until well blended. Add the flour mix to the egg white mix. Drop on parchment paper-lined cookie sheet (or on a cookie sheet), which has been lightly swiped with oil. Bake 400F for about 10 minutes. Makes about 18-20 large cookies. Comments: Cookies are chewey in texture, kind of old fashioned, and not too sweet (unless you up the brown rice syrup). These cookies kind of grow on you. Because of the variations in the chestnuts (some are very sweet, others a bit peppery in flavor), the cookies will vary from bite to bite!

Put bulghur in a bowl and pour the boiling water over it. Cover with a
towel and leave for one hour. Dump into a mesh strainer and squish out as
much water as possible. Put the bulghur back in a bowl and add the rest of
the ingredient and mix well. Refrigerate for at least two hours so flavors
blend.

(I mixed the lemon juice with the garlic and pepper, and let them sit while
I worked on the vegetables. Also, if you use salt, use a little just before
eating. I think it’s a little flat without it).
