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!

Protein Jello Cookies

Who loves colorful cookies?! Everyone! Sure, chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies are wonderful, but don't you think pink, green, orange, and red cookies are more fun?! I am in love with these easy and delicious Protein Jello Cookies!
Bright pink cookies! I made these last week.  They were cherry vanilla and so yummy! 

You can make any flavor you like, but today I am going to try key lime ones!
You need vanilla protein powder, nonfat plain greek yogurt, unsweetened almond milk, baking powder, sugar free fat free pudding mix, and whatever flavor sugar free jello mix you like! I also added two little sweeteners.  
Of course you can use any type of milk, and feel free to experiment with other protein powder and pudding flavors!

Just mix everything up in a bowl! You may want to use a whisk to be sure there are no clumps.
Such a pretty color!! These would be so fun for St. Patrick's Day.  Or you could make half red and and half green for Christmas! 

Let the batter sit for about 3-5 minutes.  You will notice that it will thicken up a good bit from the pudding mix.  I highly suggest using a baking mat for these! If you don't have one, at least use parchment paper.  I think they might stick even with non stick spray.  Try at your own risk!
Just drop the batter on the cookie sheet.  You should be able to get one dozen cookies.  They won't rise or spread much at all so you can put them pretty close together.  

They don't take long at all!! Into the oven for only 8-10 minutes at 350. Watch them carefully because if you over bake them they will get hard and rubbery.
They get even prettier after they are baked! It would be fun to do all different colors for Easter! Like pastel Easter egg cookies :)

Now, I consider this whole batch to be one serving! Seriously!
The whole big plate of cookies is under 250 calories!! Yes, you read that correctly! UNDER 250!!

They also have a ton of protein and hardly any sugar! Results may very a bit depending on what brand of protein powder you use.  
You could eat these for breakfast or lunch and make everyone at the office jealous that you are eating a dozen cookies all by yourself! Be careful if you eat these around some kiddos!! They will want to steal them from you for sure!
How could anyone resist the funness!? Plus, these cookies are so soft and gooey and simply delicious!! Everyone is going to love them. So go buy and pudding and jello mix and make these asap!! 

Be sure to post photos of your cookies on all those social media thingamabobs so we can all see the pretty colors!  If you want to make more than one kind, just mix all the ingredients except the jello mix together first.  Then, divide the batter and make as many different flavors and colors as you wish!  You could have yourself a rainbow cookie platter!
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 :)

Carrot Cake Cookie Sandwiches
  • 1 c canned carrots (240g)
  • 1 scoop cinnamon protein powder (30g)
  • 1/2 c oats ground to oat flour (20g)
  • 3 T egg substitute (46g)

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.
