The ones with PolyD were only a little sturdy/crispy by camparison. Maybe try using shortening like someone else mentioned? But I don't really mind cookies not being crispy - I just like having a couple to eat with my LC milk for a snack. I think, like Carolyn, I will freeze the next batch I make.

I don't have any whey protein powder, do you think I could sub almond flour for the whole thing or use carbquick or oat flour in place of it?

Josie: Of course, oat flour is more carbs, but I would use that instead of the CQ. That is, unless you don't mind the taste of CQ..1/3 cup of oat flour won't be bad...All almond flour would make the cookies very, very tender..too tender, probably.

Using the organic Spectrum 'shortening'?
Original choco chips cookies used shortening and I used to do
half butter.

The orig recipe batch also seemed to have a somewhat dryer texture than the ones with the PolyD (tho still good). The PolyD didn't seem to affect my stomach at all in that amount. I think I will make these again with the PD - I have a lot of it to use up!

Thanks Carolyn for this recipe. Have you tried making Maria's Fudge Extasy Cookies yet?

Can we have the recipe for Maria's fudge cookies? I am drooling already!

I remember Kevin saying that shortening makes a crispier cookie, maybe that would help? Can't wait to try this recipe, thank you!

What about baking soda and cream of tartar for crispness like in LindaSue's Snickerdoodles?

Made these tonight - Doubled the recipe so that I could freeze some to keep for emergency cravings! I used Coconut Oil instead of butter. Turned out great! I didn't experiment with this first batch - but I like the coconut over the butter for a change. They came out not to chewy and had a little crispness.
