Yummy Protein Packed Peanut Butter Cookies
OK all you PB lovers I have an awesome, yet healthy recipe for you and did I say it's SUPER easy?? So I was paging through one my cookbooks and came across a simple PB cookie recipe so I thought I would tweak it to make it WLS friendly. Here it is and trust me when I say it's the perfect thing when you need that little bit of sweet without the guilt.
1 Cup PB - must be reg peanut butter
1 egg
1 Cup splenda
1 scoop Unjury protein powder
Drop onto cookie sheet and flatten with a fork, then bake at 350 for about 11 mins. Nut info per cookie;

Not bad for a little cookie! I even took some over to my neighbor who is diabetic and she loved them. Let me know how you like them!

I don't have Unjury protein powder so I used one of my shake packets (they're actually made by my gym) that is probably similar to Unjury and decided to use chocolate. I didn't really notice a chocolate taste but I'm guessing it added to the rich flavor of the cookies.
Also, when you did the Nut info, how many cookies did you base that off of? I made tablespoon size ones so I'm not sure what the comparison is.
Do you happen to have any other cookie/treat recipes that you want to share? This is definitely the kind of treat I love to give my kids because they're very healthy and easy to make!
Thanks again for sharing this recipe!
