Anyone made those? and do you really need 3 cups of cottage cheese?

I never made high protein cookies but I once made Cowgirl Cookies(chocolate chips, macadamia nuts, and oats). It's one of my favorite cookie recipes but I decided to make a batch with Splenda, brown sugar Splenda, and whole-grain or whole wheat flour. It had to be the driest cookie I ever tried to chew.

The lesson learned, trying to make a low GI cookie that tastes good is difficult. If you want to have cookies, eat the real thing.

I'm still curious how protein cookies taste.

Milk and cottage cheese are far apart. Milk has about 1.5 times as many carbs as protein, cottage cheese has over twice as much protein as carbs. And cottage cheese is more concentrated.

I HATE cottage cheese..

(not a big cheese person either)

but milk is no problem.


anything i can use in place of the cottage cheese?

They sound decent. May have to try it.

You might be able to try ricotta cheese, but it falls into the cheese category.

My wife and I have made them several times and we (mostly me) love them. We will make several batches Sunday afternoon while preparing all are other food for the week.

I also don't care for cottage cheese by itself or with something mix in it. I like the taste, but the texture makes me gag. However, I have found that it does well in a protein shake made in a blender, a few Grow! pudding recipes I have, and in these cookies.

I dont mind dry cookies, and I love cottage cheese but damn 3 cups of the stuff is a lot a batch of cookies.

I made them tonight they are ok, nothing crazy , adding a little splenda might be a good idea.

I once made protein cake. I had some cheap protein powder from Costco and I threw some in the cake mix. Well, my experiment failed. Cake was kinda dry.

Someone mentioned using whole wheat flour so here is a tip.

If you ever try to doctor a recipe by replacing white flour with whole wheat, the rule is 1 cup white flour = 1 cup whole wheat minus two tablespoons. Otherwise, it will turn out way too dry.

can you use anything besides Metabolic Drive. for instance whey powder or muscle milk powder?

ok great thanks. im going to make some as soon as i get some Cottage cheese...

Which works better vanilla or choc Metabolic Drive (not that they have either in stock)?

I just made a bach, and they insanely gross! I even added extra sweetner, some cinnimon, and extra cocoa.

Maybe it's just my personal taste. I don't mind cottage cheese or any of the other ingredient on their own, but damn, put them together and I don't what happens.

Anyone else try them?

Having just made the cookies, I must say that they are not bad. They seem to be more akin to muffins/bread. Looking at my pan, I would almost recommend making them into cupcakes, wrappers and all.

The taste is all right, but not near the taste of the uncooked batter.

I have often mixed cottage cheese and protein powder, but never with oat flour. I can only liken the uncooked combination to cheese cake; it's really that good.

Thus, I would highly recommend mixing up the batter, and eating it in its raw state.

funny i made them last night...

mine sucked.

i agree with the whole muffin thing, the cookie texture seems way more akin to a muffin, and i think the cook time as recommended is about 2 minutes too long if you want them moist. the batter came out way too clumpy and dry, i added one egg to the mix and it seemed to take care of it. also, overall they didnt have much taste period. i also added some cinamonn, more pb, and granola bits to the second tray after trying the first batch wich tasted like a cross between rubber and styrofoam. that helped a bit, but overall i was dissapointed.
