Long time, no post! But I wanted to post this amazing recipe for cookies made of - get this - whey protein powder! They're tender in the middle, crispy on the outside, rich and delicious, and don't take up too much of the old carb allowance. They are NOT health food, though, don't fool yourself ;)
Ingredients:
2 scoops whey protein powder (vanilla, chocolate, almost anything works)
2/3 stick of butter, softened (toldja it's not health food!)
1 egg
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup Splenda or equivalent sweetness of Truvia
3 tbsp cocoa powder
1/4 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup dried cranberries
Oven to 400 degrees. Chop the chocolate chips and cranberries into pieces about half the original size.
Beat together the butter, sweetener, and egg until smooth. Don't melt the butter, if it melts it might curdle.
Combine the dry ingredients, then beat into the butter mixture. Form the resulting dough into balls the size of small walnuts and bake on an ungreased cookie sheet for 8 minutes or until the edges are browned and crispy.
