Shmoopy Cookies
It’s no secret I have a thing for developing cookie recipes. And, hubby sure doesn’t complain!
I’m sure since we met his sweet tooth has grown into a full set of sweet teeth. He loves a good cookie, and loves chocolate.
I can tell when he has a hankering for either (or both), too. He sort of mulls around the kitchen, opening the fridge, then the cupboard.
I’m usually prepping something in the kitchen, and our conversation goes a little like this…
Me: Um, you looking for something?
Hubby: Something.
Yeeaaahh, this could be interpreted more than one way.
But at these moments I know that something is chocolate or a cookie.
I typically direct him to where the “somethings” are in the fridge. (Sometimes I hide them, I mean he can go through a batch pretty quick and then the girls get in a tiff!)
We dated during the Seinfeld years, so we joke around with the Shmoopy stuff.
One day I was throwing some cookie ingredients together and WOAH, they turned out fabulous! Paul was sampling, and said “geez, Dreena, these are good“.
I replied “I made them just for you… Shmoopy!“
That was it. The cookie name stuck!
So, I bring you Shmoopy Cookies
These really ARE good. They’re a little crunchy and also chewy, and just satisfy the cookie-munchy-chocolatey-craving!
Feel free to rename them in your home. 😍
Enjoy! x Dreena

Dreena, My husband does not like chocolate or coconut, so I swapped out some things to make peanut butter raisin-cranberry Shmoops.
Instead of cocoa — PBfit peanut butter powder; no sunflower seeds or chocolate chips- chopped peanuts, though I think slivered or chopped almonds, even cashews, OH macadamias! would be good; he doesn’t like coconut so I used dried (low sugar) cranberries– he LOVED them!!! yes! THANK YOU! Oh, and can I swap out honey for the brown rice syrup. I had some but don’t like using it so will not be replacing it when it is gone.
Now I can make my chocolate ones with no guilt. I’m thinking of using chopped crystallized ginger instead of raisins in mine.

Awesome Dianne! Brilliant substitutions! Thanks for sharing your ideas here for others to bake for their shmoopies. 😉

The ingredients are perfect – ones I always have on hand – and for some reason, I’m loving that these have raisins!
