Searching for HPCCC* (Part 3)

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

Try 3:

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

http://www.proteinpow.com/2012/10/cinnamon-and-peanut-butter-protein.html#more

Even though these are for cinnamon and peanut butter, I decided to forgo the cinnamon and put carob chips in instead to make it my "chocolate chip cookie".

I made the following changes/substitutions:

• Used ON vanilla ice cream Whey instead of Gaspari Cinnamon Roll (didn't need the cinnamon flavour, nor do I have Gaspari protein).
• Used 33g of Gluten Free Oat Flour in place of ground almonds. I am not an almond fan and do not have any in the house
• Used slightly more than 15g of PB2, cause lets face it, I LOVE PB2 (maybe used 20-25 g)
• Used almond milk in place of coconut milk. Author says other milks are fine and I am not partial to too much coconut flavour
• That's it! None of the above changes should have changed flavour much. I would get a slightly less flavourful cookie instead of an almond-y one, which was fine with me.

Batter!

Pros:

1. Made absolutely beautiful cookies (see pics).
2. Baked perfectly. Batter wasn't runny and cookies didn't burn or stick!
3. Soft texture
4. Pro for some people: bready and light

Gorgeous cookies :-)

Cons:

1. Pretty bland. If it weren't for the carob chips, it wouldn't have tasted like much. Couldn't taste the PB2 at all :-(
2. Con for me, pro for some people: These were pretty "bready" cookies. More like Christmas cookies without the hardness. The texture seems to get me every time!

PB Carob Chip Protein Cookie

So I am still in search for my ultimate high protein chocolate chip cookie that tastes and has texture similar to a real cookie! Will try attempt #4 shortly!
