My boss, Julie, is super great with nutrition and she recently gave me this recipe for protein cookies. There is just over 100 calories in one cookie and lots of protein. I made them today and they are yummmmmy. Give them a try :)
Protein Cookies
1/3 cup unsweetened apple sauce
2 Tablespoons almond paste
-(I don't want to pay for it so I just one ounce of cream cheese and it tastes great)
1 Tablespoon flaxseed oil
-(I also didn't want to pay for this so I just use 1 Tablespoon of olive oil)
10 packets of Truvia
1/4 cup agave nectar
1 large egg
1/2 tsp. vanilla
3/4 cup whole wheat flour (white flour works just as well- just not as healthy)
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/2 cup vanilla whey powder
combine all these ingredients- mix with a hand mixer.
Then add and mix in:
2 cups oats
1 cup dried cherries (any dried fruit- I've used cranberries and they were delicious)
1/2 cup sliced almonds
*I add some chocolate chips as well or Dusty won't eat them ;) I think they taste really good with just the cherries instead of chocolate chips though.
Spoon onto a lightly greased cookie sheet.
Bake at 325 for 12 minutes or until the tops are light brown.
Thanks Holly!
