Mmmmm cookies!!!
Hope everyone had a nice Monday! Sorry for the late post tonight.
I've been trying to get a little more protein in my diet lately, for those of you who know me I live on a mostly cheese and tortilla diet...aka the quesidilla diet. I've been trying to think of ways to trick my brain into thinking that I'm eating ooy-gooy sugar filled foods...so that brings me to my DIY for the day...Quest protein cookies...soooo easy.
I found these Quest protein bars at my local QNC. 19 grams of protein and only 1 gram of sugar?!? AND it's cookie dough flavored? Sign me up. Ps they just came out with a limited edition Pumpkin Spice flavor too!
Here's my easy Quest Bar cookie how-to/
Tonight I used the chocolate brownie flavor, but use whatever bar flavor you're in the mood for!
Unwrap your bar and stick in the microwave for 10 seconds to soften it up a bit.
Cup up (I chose to do 6 cookies out of bar but I've also done 4). While it's still warm, roll the 'dough' into cookie like balls.
Place on aluminum foil or parchment paper and bake for 7 minutes at 350 degrees.
Fresh from the oven take a fork and swish your cookie down a bit to make it alittle flatter. You'll seriously be amazed at how much these babies 'puff up' and get a cookie like consistency. Now you can enjoy these as is or add a little peanut butter to the top (or do like Matthew and add them to a heaping bowl of ice cream!!)
Seriously try these out when your next late night sweet tooth hits you, you won't be disappointed!!
And you won't feel guilty eating the whole tray!!
