Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookies--with a surprise!

I thought I would try my hand at bean cookies.  The dough was a hit so hopefully the cookies will be too.  These lovely things are 117 calories a piece if you make 36 of them. Woo hoo!

1 cup white beans, whole (rinsed and drained if canned)
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs ( 2 T egg powder and 4 T water) Maybe even a little more water--they are a bit chewy...
 1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
3 cups oats
1 2/3 (11 oz ) butterscotch chips

Sift flour baking soda, cinnamon and salt together.  Mix beans and sugars together in mixer or separate bowl with beaters.  Continue to beat until you can no longer see large bean pieces.  There will still be a few small bits left.  Add eggs or powder and vanilla.  Add in flour mixture gradually.  Stir in oats and chips.  Drop on to a cookie sheet using a scoop. (I greased my pan they always stick!)

Bake at 375 for 7-8 minutes.  We like ours soft. 

Enjoy!
