goji berry cookieThe new big thing at Whole Foods seems to be the goji berry. It is $18 a pound in the bulk section. Not cheap, but supposed to be healthy as all get out. You can also find them at Costco for around $9 for 2.5 pounds, but they are covered in sugar and dipped in pomegranate juice. Not so tasty, but I guess it will cure whatever is wrong with you. My son will shove handfuls in his mouth as fast as you can pour them in front of him.
Modifed from a Post Punk Kitchen recipe:
Fluffy Goji-Orange Cookies
1/2 C. pure maple syrup
1/2 C. shortening
1/2 cup apple sauce
2 Tbsp. orange juice
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 C. spelt flour
1 1/2 C. white flour
1 C. dried unsweetened goji berries soaked in hot water for 5 minutes
2 tsp. orange zest
natural sugar (optional)
Mix syrup, shortening, egg replacer, orange juice, and orange zest thoroughly. Add everything else except cranberries and mix well. Stir in cranberries. The dough should be sticky and a bit elastic. Not really typical cookie dough texture. If it's too messy to shape by hand then add a little flour until it's more pliable.
Shape dough into small balls and place on non-stick or greased cookie sheet. These cookies aren't terribly sweet as-is so you can optionally do the following to give them a light sugary coating. Flatten dough balls with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar. These tend to come out puffy so it's best to flatten the dough balls a bit even if you don't put sugar on top. They can get a little gooey inside otherwise.
Bake at 375 degrees for 8-11 minutes
These are more like breakfast treats. They are more muffin than cookie. Still a good solid vegan treat. I'm pretty sure they would be nice wheat-free if you were to replace the white flour with white rice flour, or a mixture of soy and tapioca flour.

The recipe does not say how much egg replacer to use.

Correctly known as Wolfberry, this is a plant with many identities, as it is also known as Chinese wolfberry, mede berry, barbary matrimony vine, bocksdorn, Duke of Argyll's tea tree, Murali (in India), red medlar, or matrimony vine.
Great recipe! But you didn't mention how much egg replacer but I will do this as soon as I got home.
In my view everybody must go through it.
Very worthwhile info, lots of thanks for your article.
Goji Berries... yes... I tried those too.for my health conditions, Those sweet, red berries seemed to help, but only during the time when I consumed them. I don't want to take a drug for the rest of my life, so why would I want to take a natural supplement everyday for the rest of my life (although Goji berries are very tasty and are highly nourishing). To me this was not a cure either (and I'm LOOKING for the CURE).
Up to that point, I hadn't found a cure. I felt like a young jumbled mess. I continued to have extreme pain, but continued on my path to healing. I started to focus on myself and not everyone else. When I was a young adult, I took on too much responsibility out of a sense of obligation. This was no longer healthy for me, so I resigned from all my projects and groups. Those days to come were the best [and worst] days. I took a lot of time off work, yet began to feel so extremely exhausted. Many health professionals "diagnosed" me with adrenal fatigue & Hiv,Prostate Cancer so my situation was annoying then I keep searching for permanent cure online that's when I came to know of Dr God hands whom god has bleesed with ancestral herbs gift to heal people with disease like .Cancers,Alzheimer's disease,HPV,Men & Women Infertility,Melanoma, Mesothelioma, Diabetes, Multiple myeloma, Parkinson's disease,Neuroendocrine tumors,Herpes, Hiv/Aids,Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma,, chronic diarrhea, COPD,Love spell, Hepatitis... so i make a purchase of his herbal medicines and I have being watching my health for 6 years now and I actually comfirmed that his herbal medicines are permamnent cure and I'm so happy that i came to know of his herbal healings.You can contact Dr God hands Email: doctorgodhands@gmail.com WhatsApp: +2349057214220. if you gone through exactly what I go through in terms of health conditions because really honest there is more to learn about natural herbs than medical drugs.
