Bonus Dessert recipe!!!!

Oatmeal Chocolate chip protein cookies

Servings: 15 cookies

Preheat oven: 350 degrees

Prep time: 6 Minutes

Cook time: 15 Minutes (can vary slightly based on oven)

Ingredients:

•      1 ½ cups old-fashioned Oats
•      2 scoops Dymatize Elite Gourmet protein Vanilla Whey
•      3 egg whites
•      ½ cup lowfat 2% milk cottage cheese, blended
•      1/4tsp baking powder
•      1/2tsp baking soda

•      1/8tsp sea salt
•      1/2 tsp vanilla extract
•      1/2tsp butter extract
•      ¼ cup milk chocolate chips

Drections:

First You’ll want to get your blender or food processor out and blend your cottage cheese till its smoot and creamy. No Chunks! Then mix all of your ingredients in a medium size mixing bowl. Stir till mixed completely together. Your mixture should look almost sticky. That’s what you want!

Using a cookie sheet, place a large piece of parchment paper on pan and spray lightly with pam olive oil. Since I din’t use butter or oil in the recipe, your cookies will tend to stick to the pan. I found using parchment paper is a big help with the situation.

Using a spoon, drop cookie dough onto cookie sheet. This recipe makes 15 cookies. Bake at 350 degree for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let them sit for about 5 minutes on cookie sheet to finish cooking the bottoms.
