Check It Out Chewy Rice Cookies

Well, I like cookies way too much, so I try to make up some healthy sweet concoctions.  Also, there always seems to be leftover brown rice in the fridge, so brown rice cookies resulted.

Combine:

2 cups short grain brown rice (1 dry cup plus 1 1/2 cups water to cook)
1/4 cup soy milk
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 egg whites
1 cup pecans
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
2 tablespoons oat bran

Bake at 350F for 15 to 25 minutes, until golden brown.  Serve with fresh fruit and enjoy.
