Double Chocolate Cookies

I love how many people have been making my Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies! I cannot tell you how much I enjoy seeing people post a beautiful plate of cookies on social media after trying my recipe. 

Seeing my cookies everywhere was making me crave a plate! I decided to mix it up a little and use my original recipe to make some Double Chocolate Cookies!

Oh boy did they turn out good!

You will need the following...

MTS Chocolate Whey, canned pumpkin, canned white beans, egg substitute, vanilla, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, white chocolate chips, and sweetener of choice.

If you want to try baking with MTS Whey, order here!

Use code KH30 to save 30%

Drain and rinse your beans first.

Add beans, pumpkin, egg, and vanilla to a blender or food processor and puree smooth. 

If you need to, add a little milk or more egg to get it all blended. 

Does it look like chocolate cookie dough yet? No...ok...

Mix in the protein powder, cocoa, baking powder, and sweetener. 

Be sure to use cute little portioning bowls so you feel like you have your own cooking show!

Now THAT looks like chocolate cookie dough!!

Add in your white chocolate chips.  You can add a lot...or a little...I like a lot!

The batter will be pretty wet and sticky so just do drop cookies.  

I highly recommend using a baking mat or parchment paper. 

Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes and wait for the chocolatey goodness!

Heaven on a plate!! 

Each cookie is only 35 calories so feel free to eat more than one!

In fact, the whole plate is only 425 calories! You are also getting 34 grams of protein.  

Healthy AND delicious!! Yes, it is possible!

In case you are skeptical, I promise you cannot taste the beans or the pumpkin.  All you will taste is chocolate amazingness!

Pumpkin Oat Cookies

This may come as a huge shock to some, but I am going to bake something and NOT add protein powder! Yes, I do actually make some tasty treats without using protein.  Of course, you could add it if you wanted, but I have had some requests lately for some protein free recipes.  Here are my super simple and super tasty Pumpkin Oat Cookies!

I love these because they are so quick and easy to make! 

All you need is oats (I prefer quick), canned pumpkin, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla, and sweetener of choice. I have also made these and added things like chocolate chips, a bit of peanut butter, raisins, or some nuts.  I kept this batch super simple.

One bowl, one spoon, and all the ingredients!

Mix it up good!

I make 12 cookies out of this recipe.  Take about 2 tablespoons of dough and roll into a ball.

You can make them bigger or smaller if you like, but I think this size is perfect.

 Flatten them down a bit.  You can place them pretty close together on the baking sheet because they won't really rise or spread.

Bake them at 350 for 15-18 minutes.  

 And done! Now these cookies will stay very soft.  If you want a crunchier cookie, I suggest adding a fat source like peanut butter, oil or butter.  

I aboslutely love soft cookies though, so these are perfect for me.

And yes, I consider this whole tower of cookies to be one serving :) Only 240 calories for a dozen cookies!!

I love having these for breakfast! Great for on the go and they freeze well.  

What's better than a plate of pumpkin cookies for breakfast?! 

Nothing, nothing is the answer!

1. Mix all ingredients in a bowl.

Peanut Butter Marshmallow Cookies

We all love peanut butter right?! Well, unless you are allergic to it...In that case I am really, REALLY sorry...

I have been very lucky to have some MTS Peanut Butter Fluff protein powder sent to me by Marc Lobliner, owner of MTS Nutrition.  He is supplying me with protein powder to use in my recipes and for my own personal use! Awesomeness!! As soon as I got the huge tub of protein, my brain starting going crazy thinking of all the delicious things I could make with such a unique flavor!

I knew right away that I was going to be using this in some protein cookies!!

Yea, they turned out amazing!! If you don't have any MTS peanut butter fluff protein powder go buy some now and then come back and make these cookies.  You can order it here!! 

If you don't have the peanut butter protein, it's ok, you can still kinda make these...they just might not be quite as good...I will go over substitutions shortly.

You will need peanut butter fluff protein powder, canned pumpkin, egg substitute, sugar free fat free vanilla pudding mix, baking powder, vanilla, sweetener if you like, and marshmallows!!

I came across these super fun Mallow Bits at Target.  They are like the little crunchy pieces you get in  those packets of hot cocoa.  

If you don't have these, no worries! You can just use mini marshmallows.  Also, if you don't have peanut butter fluff protein powder, you can use vanilla or even chocolate and your cookies just won't be peanut buttery.  They will still be very tasty though!! 

Very simple instructions here.  Throw all the ingredients into one bowl and mix with a spoon!

Told ya it was simple... 

I highly recommend using parchment paper or a baking mat for these cookies.  If you don't have either I would at least use a generous spritz of non stick spray.  

Just drop the dough onto the cookie sheet.  I got 8 cookies.  

You can make them as big or as small as you want.  

Keep an eye on them the first time you bake them.  Mine took about 12 minutes at 350.

These are super soft and moist cookies and it would be a shame if you burnt them :(

I wish computer screens were scratch and sniff because these smelled amazing!! My whole house smelled like sweet peanut butter wonderfulness! 

I may have forgot to mention it...but you can eat the whole batch yourself! Without any guilt!

That's because all 8 cookies are only 237 calories! 

They are also very low fat and very high protein! I am having this batch for breakfast tomorrow! I can't wait!

If you wanted to share, each cookie little bit of heaven is only 30 calories.

But let's be honest...you won't be able to stop after just one...and there is absolutely no need to!!

Enjoy!

Carrot Cake Cookie Sandwiches

I recently got some super fun oatmeal from MyOatmeal.  Such a great company! I did a review on them which you can check out here.  One of the flavors I got to try was carrot cake.  It was so good!! I ate it like regular oatmeal, but then I wanted to try baking something a little more fun with it. I decided on Carrot Cake Cookie Sandwiches!

Oh my, these turned out amazing!!! Don't worry if you don't have special flavored oats, you can use regular oats for this recipe! In fact, you can also sub any type of flour.  

Ingredients you will need include....

Oatmeal!

 I just took the carrot cake oats and ground them into oat flour.  You can take plain oats to make oat flour, or use whatever kind you like.  

You also need cinnamon protein powder, carrots, egg substitute, fat free cream cheese, cinnamon, vanilla, baking powder, salt, and sweetener.

*You can use vanilla protein powder and add extra cinnamon*

*I used canned carrots, but you can use fresh and steam them*

Drain your carrots and then puree til it looks like baby food! If using fresh carrots just steam and puree them to get the same end product.  In fact, you could even just use actual baby food! Easy!

Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl except the cream cheese.  

We are saving that for our filling!

You should be able to get one dozen cookies from this batter.  Just make sure you get an even number so every cookie has a partner when we pair them up :)

The batter is super sticky so be sure to use a baking mat, parchment, or lots of non stick spray.  Into the oven for 10-12 minutes at 350.

While those are baking, we will mix up our cream cheese filing.  Super simple.  Just mix together as much cream cheese as you want with some cinnamon and sweetener.  

No exact measurements here.  I used 4 T of the cream cheese, but you can use more or less depending on how much you want for each sandwich.  

When the cookies are done, be sure to let them cool completely. 

 I stuck mine in the fridge for a few minutes to speed up the process. I am a bit impatient at times...

Perfect!

You could absolultely just eat the cookies like this and they will taste great! I guess they would just be carrot cookies though because carrot cake isn't really carrot cake without the cream cheese frosting!

If you did want to snack on a few of them plain, each one is only 23 calories!! 

Maybe I should have made an odd number of cookies so I could eat this little guy! You could always just eat two...They smell so good already and are super duper soft! 

Time to make sandwiches! I don't really think I need to explain to you how you make a cookie sandwich...right??

Does that look amazing or does that look amazing?! This double stuffed sandwich is only 55 calories! You know what that means...you can eat all 6 yourself! Yup, all the cookies and all the cream cheese filling is only about 330 calories! Some people refer to me as a magician...Just sayin! 

So there ya have it! Healthy and delicious carrot cake cookie sandwiches.  Go make some for yourself! And remember, you don't have to share :)

Super Chocolate Fudge Cookies

I think I have come up with the softest chocolate cookie recipe ever!! Seriously, these cookies are like eating fudge!

No further intro is needed.  Just in case you were wondering though...yes, they are still good for you! Let's get baking!

Ingredients...

Chocolate protein powder, sugar free fat free chocolate pudding mix, plain nonfat greek yogurt, egg substitute, canned pumpkin, vanilla, baking powder, chocolate chips, and sweetener if you wish.

You know these are going to be super chocolatey with two powdered chocolate ingredients!

No fanciness with this recipe.  Just mix all the ingredients in a bowl!! 

It is looking delicious already.  So thick!!

It is absolutely ok to lick the spoon at this point...quality control is very important.  We want to be sure our batter is sweet enough, right?

Don't forget the chocolate chips!!

Add as much or as little as you like. You could leave them out but I am going for SUPER chocolate cookies this time!

The batter is pretty sticky so you will want to use parchment or a silicon baking mat.  If you don't have either, nonstick spray should work. Just drop the batter onto your cookie sheet.

I got 9 cookies! The best part? You will be able to eat them all for under 300 calories! No lie...

Bake at 350 for about 15-18 minutes.  

Goodness gracious!! The chocolate smell coming from these cookies is heaven! Seriously, I am pretty sure this is what heaven smells like.  At least I hope it does!

I didn't even wait for them to cool.  I may have burnt my tongue a bit, but it was totally worth it!

It is like eating ooey, gooey, warm chocolate fudge!! Without the guilt because these cookies are actually healthy! Each one is only 33 calories! The whole batch is packing over 30 grams of protein too! Pre or post workout cookies?! I think so!

I am not sorry to say that this first batch is already gone!!! 

And the hubby didn't even get one bite...sorry!

No worries though, these are going to be made quite frequently! Remember, you can always double or triple the recipe!! :)

Pumpkin Protein Cookies

Cookies for breakfast?! Don't mind if I do! With these cookies, you won't even feel guilty about it, because they are so good for you! In fact, they are better for you than ALOT of breakfasts out there!! Better than most cereals, bagels, muffins (except maybe my Carrot Peach Muffins), and protein bars.  They are packed with protein and taste amazing! Great for breakfast on the go.

And in case you were wondering...yes, you can eat all 8 yourself.  Only 260 calories for all of them!

Let's get our ingredients!

MTS Vanilla whey, oat bran, canned pumpkin, egg substitute, fat free cream cheese, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla, and a little sweetener if you like :)

**Oat flour or any flour can be used instead of oat bran**

**No canned pumpkin?? Try applesauce, mashed banana, or sweet potato!**

If you haven't tried MTS whey in baking yet you can order it here. Use code KH30 and save 30%

This is another one of those super duper easy recipes!  A bowl and a spoon will work just fine. Throw all ingredients into that bowl and mix til smooth.  

I usually add an extra pinch of cinnamon at this point.  Just to be sure they are cinnamon-y enough!! Adjust to your liking.

If you have not yet invested in a silicon baking mat, go do it! NOW! No, like right now...put the batter in the fridge and drive to Bed Bath and Beyond. I am sure you have one of those coupons lying around...

Ok, now that you're back, let's use that mat and plop our batter on there.  

If you were too lazy to get a mat, parchment will do fine.  

You will probably get 8 cookies. Make them as big or as small as you desire!

Bake at 350 for about 12-15 minutes.  I always like to under bake my cookies a tiny bit so they are nice and soft!!! If you like crunchier cookies, simply bake longer! As if I really needed to tell you that...

Oh, I forgot to tell you to buy a sweet cooling rack when you were at the store...My bad...

It's ok, you can go get one later! You want to eat these cookies when they are nice and warm!!

I will enjoy mine with a nice cup of coffee in my favorite "Wonderful Nanny" mug I got from a wonderful friend.

That's right, all 8 cookies just for me! What a glorious way to start the day!

Of course, you could share...each cookie is only about 32 calories.

Or you could do something super awesome!!!! Take 2 cookies, mix together a little cream cheese and cinnamon, and make a cookie sandwich!!! Better than an oatmeal cream pie! Actually, why not make 4 cookie sandwiches?!

Or you could stack them into a tower of cookies!

Hope you enjoy!!! Don't forget to share this recipe on all those social things you use!

**What sweet treat did you always hope for in your lunchbox as a kid??

I LOVED my Little Debbie Swiss Cake Rolls!!! I would peel all the chocolate off first, unroll it, eat the icing, then eat the cake part.
