Search for HPCCC* (Part 2)

where HPCCC* stands for high protein chocolate chip cookie and the * denotes "the best".

Try 2:

This week I'm trying a recipe from the following website:

http://www.stephaniedotfitness.com/2011/06/oatmeal-chocolate-chip-protein-cookies.html

The picture featured on the blog look amazing...hopefully mine will look half as good!


Baking away

I actually didn't make any substituions in the recipes, except for the brand of protein powder. The other thing was that I didn't have any parchment paper, so I sprayed a little extra PAM olive oil on the cookie sheets.

Apparently my rack in the over is a bit too low for these cookies because the bottoms got pretty dark in under the allotted cooking time. Other than that, they baked pretty well.

Finished cookie!


Pros:

  • Really good taste. They were sweeter than the last batch, which I like.
  • I like the thinner cookie. Although drop cookies are good, I really prefer thinners cookies (takes me more bites to finish!)
  • Easy to prep!
  • Ryan really liked these!
Cons:
  • Again, I don't really like the consistency. They have more of a cake/pancake consistency than that of a regular soft chewy cookie. The recipe did say this was to be expected though
  • It might have been my oven or lack of parchment paper, the the bottoms cooked way too fast



Overall, a really good-tasting cookie with great macros! Next up will be peanut butter chocolate chip protein cookies.
