He went into great detail. &nbsp;<div><br /></div><div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mesquite-chocolate-chip-cookies#post-2146077 Sun, 27 Sep 2020 15:50:06 +0000 avicennia 2146077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JAileen — to answer your question, here in Tucson we live on the homelands of the Tohono O’odham. I cook with variety of local Indigenous foods like tepary beans, Saguaro syrup, and cholla buds. Some is given to me by friends on the rez and some I buy. The San Xavier reservation co-op has a nice selection, but you have to call to order. <a href="http://www.sanxaviercoop.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.sanxaviercoop.org</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mesquite-chocolate-chip-cookies#post-2146074 Sun, 27 Sep 2020 15:27:51 +0000 avicennia 2146074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I made these cookies yesterday and they are seriously delicious! OMG. I know I said I wouldn’t modify the recipe but I couldn’t help myself. Instead of cutting back on grams of sugar, I used coconut palm sugar which is less sweet than cane sugar. I used 100% unsweetened chocolate and since I didn’t have oats, I increased the mesquite flour. And wow! The cookies were light and delicate. My new favorite cookie recipe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mesquite-chocolate-chip-cookies#post-2145968 Sat, 26 Sep 2020 09:02:39 +0000 cindysmith 2145968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am definitely going to look into these cookies, because they sound so very interesting!<br /> Still, I can't help but comment on the hilarious irony encapsulated in this screenshot that shows this thread right above one about struggling with food during lockdown. We are an interesting bunch of people here at YLF, and I wouldn't have us any other way </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mesquite-chocolate-chip-cookies#post-2145948 Sat, 26 Sep 2020 02:15:15 +0000 rachylou 2145948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>112g carbs per cup, pretty close to flour at 95g per cup. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mesquite-chocolate-chip-cookies#post-2145937 Fri, 25 Sep 2020 23:30:15 +0000 JAileen 2145937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, I’m not sure how to interpret the label, but here it is: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mesquite-chocolate-chip-cookies#post-2145934 Fri, 25 Sep 2020 23:06:22 +0000 Anonymous 2145934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those look yummy. What is the carb content of mesquite flour? Our grocery store bakery is already making pumpkin spice chocolate chip cookies. They are a more moist cookie than the regular chocolate chip cookie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mesquite-chocolate-chip-cookies#post-2145849 Fri, 25 Sep 2020 14:38:04 +0000 JAileen 2145849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Avicennia, how interesting! &nbsp;Did you buy it on the reservation? &nbsp;I wondered if we could grow mesquite here, but we have pretty cold winters. &nbsp;My husband just laughed when I asked him.<div><br /><div>The cookies do have a lot of sugar, yet they don’t taste overly sweet. &nbsp;I’m not sure why, other than the recipe makes a lot of cookies.</div></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mesquite-chocolate-chip-cookies#post-2145841 Fri, 25 Sep 2020 13:46:46 +0000 avicennia 2145841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you JAileen, I’ll cut down the sugar, but otherwise follow the recipe exactly!

Mesquite flour is sweet in and of itself, cutting down on the need for sugar. I’d love to have the recipe, but the link didn’t work for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mesquite-chocolate-chip-cookies#post-2145737 Thu, 24 Sep 2020 21:10:46 +0000 JAileen 2145737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I made these cookies today from David Lebovitz’ recipe found here:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.davidlebovitz.com/a-chocolate-chi/">https://www.davidlebovitz.com/a-chocolate-chi/</a></p> <p>I can’t remember how I stumbled on mesquite flour. &nbsp;It was just kind of intriguing. &nbsp;The cookies are delicious. &nbsp;The “flour” smells divine straight from the bag. &nbsp;I baked 1 1/2 dozen and froze the rest of the dough In little balls. &nbsp;Has anyone else cooked with mesquite flour? </p>
