Amaranth Ginger Cookies Recipe

Recipe by: Cheerios

"A very crisp cookie with the goodness of amaranth grains and oatmeal for extra fiber for your midday snack."

Directions

1Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a large baking sheet.
2Bring water and amaranth to a boil in a small saucepan. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until amaranth is tender and water has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and cool amaranth to room temperature.
3Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
4Beat sugar and butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Beat 1 egg into creamed butter mixture until smoothly incorporated; repeat with second egg. Add amaranth, oats, ginger, and walnuts to creamed butter mixture and beat until mixed.
5Stir flour mixture into creamed butter mixture until dough is just combined. Drop dough by the teaspoonful onto the prepared baking sheet.
6Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are lightly browned on top, about 10 minutes. Remove baking sheet from oven and allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
