Yeah, Carolyn, the gingerbread. . .is the best for me so far! I also tried cookie dough--DaVinci's and it was good but not as good as the gingerbread. . .I think cinnamon would be good as well as some freshly grated nutmeg!
They are dry. . .but just means I can't eat em as fast as other cookies! ![]() Jude, I didn't know spice blend was stronger than gingerbread. I think this is more induction friendly than the "cookie dough" I used to mix up with cream cheese and nut butter plus protein powder and syrup. I also gave the dough a coupla sprays of Better than Butter or whatever that stuff is. . .had to add more powder! but I might scale back the butter with that.. . it's a work in progress! for me!

I tried this... I tweaked a bit..
7g vanilla protein powder (1/2 scoop) 1 t butter, melted 1/4 t vanilla extract 1 splenda packet drops of vanilla SF syrup drops of water I microwaved it for 30 seconds, I didn't get a big cookie, one about 2" in diameter. I topped it with cinnamon. It was a decent cookie substitute. I wouldn't call it "Evil" as Amy described them. DH had one with his LC ice cream. He said it was a nice treat to accompany the ice cream. Ok, I did one more experiment and this IS THE EVIL COOKIE: same as above except I added a dash of cinnamon to the protein powder and splenda; reserved a bit of the splenda. When done, top with cinnamon and the lil' bit of reserved splenda... LC snickerdoodle... HELP ME!

Last night I watched some of Amy's videos then decided to make one of these cookies. I only had chocolate whey protein powder on hand so that's what I used. I kind of like them and think they make a nice little snack. They're pretty filling and I think it would be hard to eat too many because of the dry texture. Plus, you have to make them one at a time, LOL.
Today I played around with the recipe a little more to work out just how much water to add and how long to microwave them. With my microwave (1,200 watts), 15 seconds gives me a slightly moister, chewier cookie but it's not a big as when I cook them for 30 seconds. They really puff up (a lot like the mock cheez-its do) when you nuke them for 25-30 seconds but then they get pretty dry inside. I like them either way. Here's the link to the recipe on my site: http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/protein_cookie.html Here's how mine looked after nuking for 15 seconds: ![]() And, here's one cooked for 30 seconds: ![]()

I don't mind soy itself....it's pretty bland but it'll do the job. I'll have to get whey protein next time.

I had to add a little more protein powder as I used a tad too much Caramel DaVinci with my Designer Chocolate Whey protein and melted butter. I nuked mine for 20 seconds and it puffed up. At first I thought it was not sweet enough, but it grew on me. My husband thought it was awful though. I think I'll make this again. YMMV as they say.

I've been making them with some MCT Oil (natural butter flavour), with the ICBINB stuff, and just with water and/or DaVinci.
I've reached the conclusion that the butter or oil makes only a tad of difference in the moistness and mouthfeel, so I'm leaving it out for calorie reasons. So far, I'm liking the plain water, pinch of liquid splenda and a titch of ground cinnamon version, though I haven't done the chocolate yet. ![]() It reminds me, too, of the puffy cheese crackers made with a slice of process cheese in the microwave. I'm guessing it's the milk/whey protein forming a matrix as it heats. I'm using a base of 100% whey protein isolate with Stevia and Vanilla natural flavours, Kaizen brand made somewhere here in Canada, I believe. I'm trying to stay away from soft plastics in the nuker, so I'm using a wide shallow bowl with a spritz of pan spray, and a max of 28 secs as well in my 1000W microwave. Take 'em out and turn 'em over while cooling (always some moisture on the underside of nuked stuff like this). Slightly chewy and not too dry. Oh, and I'm using a full scoop and enough liquid to make it almost syrupy, like a thick sticky batter, and then making two, one after the other. It's easier to control the cooking process and make sure it isn't overcooked, I find, with the extra moisture. As the plate warms, they cook faster...so the second one is more like 26 secs. Fun stuff! (and a quick breakfast as I'm firing out the door).

Jude: I was thinking of eliminating the fat next time..My son had some Muscle Milk (chocolate peanut butter), but it has quite a bit of fat already in it. When Amy made hers, she used that non-fat butter, so I think we do need some liquid..but probably fat is optional.
So, yours looked like pancake batter??? |

I subbed the butter with a teaspoon of chunky peanut butter....it's the bomb! Even the consistancy seemed more cookie-like. But then I'm a *huge* fan of peanut butter.

Linda, thanks for the pictures. I watched the video of Amy's but I didn't really get to see the cookie up close.
Peanut butter sounds great in it, but I think it might get me in too much trouble. I did make one last night and used cinnamon and SF Log Cabin syrup and it tasted pretty good and less dry. |

Mmmmmm. . . I found the pot of gold!
I tried this as Carolyn first posted and enjoyed it. But today . . . I made it as a snickerdoodle and I am in heaven. I added just a little cinnamon to the cookie dough and then rolled it in splenda and cinnamon. Ahhhhhhh it was so good. Thanks Carolyn |

I made some with the synthrax Green Apple. . .and it was MAYBE the best yet. . .added cinnamon and used DaVinci's gingerbread and the butter spray.
The dryness just means I can't eat em too fast and that I don't overindulge. I like that about this cookie. I, like Jude, make 2, but I haven't made em with the batter that thin. I will try that tomorrow. I have just cooked 2 at once for 30 seconds. I'm happy with that. I cook em on a piece of paper used in food service. Like you get a donut with. No spray needed for that. I agree, Jude, they are great on the go, and I can see eating these both as a breakfast and as a snack. . .a take along one. I think they are "good" without much refrigeration. What do you think? Since they are dried out? Just picking your brains!! |

Well I decided to try this and its not the greatest(but that could be because my stomach is not feeling well
) It definitely would help if i was craving something though. I only had plain protein powder so i added a touch of cocoa powder, some raspberry davinci's, peanut butter, splenda, water and butter. It came out more like a dense brownie. I added a dollop of S.F. Cool whip and a scoop of my l.c. rocky road. Not Bad |

I have been eating these for a few months now and I LOVE them for a light breakfast with coffee!
I've never been a big breakfast eater and these are perfect for me.I don't like adding water to mine because I think it waters down the taste. I use 1/2 scoop Designer Whey PP (either French Vanilla or Chocolate), a pkt of splenda and sometimes a sprinkle of cinnamon. I use the I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray and just keep spritzing it on and smooshing around until it holds together. It does come out rather dry so maybe I will try cooking it a little less. I can't wait to try out some of these new ideas! ![]()

I don't think they need to be refrigerated as long as they aren't doughy on the inside. Cheese crisps can be stored at room temperature for a long time so why shouldn't these?

Thanks for posting this, Carolyn (and thanks everyone else for the ideas and pictures!). This was great! (I did Cookie Dough Da Vinci with Designer Whey Chocolate/Caramel).

Somewhere I read that they are doing this with an egg. . .then it becomes 3 minute cake. Carolyn, full circle!
Anybody have any luck with THAT? Actually, they mentioned not using protein powder. . .so that makes it Carolyn's flourless chocolate cake. . .with cocoa, that is! Janie |

Janie: Hmm..I think if we added an egg to 1/2 scoop of the protein powder and the rest of the ingredients..maybe with 1/4 tsp. of baking powder..WOULD WE HAVE CAKE? I'll have to try it this afternoon..It's like a magic recipe, huh?

unless you want it really dry, rather like a bland meringue.These all need a serious flavour kick to work and not to be undercooked... oh, and the ICBINB is only calorie free if you use it in regular serving sizes, folks...check the ingredients out. When we're using teaspoons of the stuff, it's a little different counting process. ![]() |
