It’s cookie time
By
Part of my current eating regime is eating a high protein snack for afternoon tea. I’ve tried protein bars, which worked really well but are VERY expensive. I switched to canned chicken and tuna, much better for the wallet but too many of them smell or taste like cat food. I’m happy to keep going with the canned meat but thought I’d explore other options.
I found this recipe on the net for some protein cookies so I thought I’d give them a go.
Ingredients
* 1/2 cup butter, softened
* 1/2 cup peanut butter
* 1 cup packed brown sugar
* 1/2 cup white sugar
* 3 eggs
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/3 cup water
* 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 cup powdered protein supplement
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 1/3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and water. Combine the flour, protein powder, baking soda and salt; stir into the creamed mixture. Fold in chocolate chips. Drop dough by heaping spoonfuls onto un-greased cookie sheets.
3. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
The cookies are very good, my wife ate three, and should be quite filling. I’ll be eating two of them for afternoon tea each day this week to try them out. Hopefully I might have an alternative to canned chicken on the weeks I don’t feel like eating that.
