This may be a dumb question, but did you form them into cookies and then freeze them? Or did you just freeze the mix and eat it as a cookie dough type thing? Thanks!

i just used a spoon for me 🙂
what kind of protein powder? like what flavor??
Reply
any, but I used vanilla!

How much is a scoop of protein powder? How many cookies does this make? One… lol!

I am actually not sure because my container just said ‘one scoop’ in the serving size. But it looked like half a cup.

Generally they are 3.5 Tbs

How much is one scoop of protein powder??

What type of protein powder (like flavorless)? I have Vanilla and Cookies N Cream at home but maybe those would change the flavor too much?

Any would be fine, really, but I used vanilla!

Hi Priscilla,
I can’t wait to try these cookies but we have nut allergies in our home. What can I substitute for the peanut butter? Or can it be omitted entirely? ThanksReply
hmm. Let me think, peanut butter is the main ingredient in it because it holds everything together. You could try another kind of butter, almond (unless you are allergic as well), or coconut butter, hazelnut butter, anything with that sort of consistency will do. And since you are taking out some flavor you could add a few drops of vanilla so enhance the cookie flavor.
If you look in your healthfood isle of your supermarket (or a health food store) you can buy seed butters/spreads. Great option for those who can’t have nut spreads 🙂
yes! they have nut butters and cookie butters now!
Sunbutter! The texture is the same and it doesn’t taste much different. Most grocery stores (and target) carry it now.

You can use sunflower seed butter! I am also allergic and i found sunflower seed butter tastes the most like peanut butter!

can you omit the protein powder? what is a good substitute?
Reply
in this recipe, it is a vital ingredient. sorry xx

PLEASE ENJOY THE NEW RECIPE i HAVE POSTED. THAT OMITS THE PROTEIN POWDER AND IT MUCH HEALTHEieR 🙂

Is there anything that you can use to replace the dates? I have an aversion to dried pitted fruits (dates, apricots, raisins, etc). Thanks!
Yes! Anything eith the same consistency will do. Raisins are a good option
Is this paleo? Because peanuts are not ok in the paleo diet because they’re legumes..unless I’m wrong. And the milk?
Reply
i know nothing about paleo, but since I’m a vegan now, I wouldn’t be able to have milk.
Reply
almond or coconut milk would work.
Aside from answering your own question about Paleo; it’s not even a clean recipe if you choose to use any of the suggested chocolate powders because a: of the added sugar content, and b: I’m unfamiliar with the others, but Ovaltine – being a malted drink – has grain content, specifically gluten. Using plain, additive free cocoa powder would be a vast improvement.
Reply
Use almond butter! Now it is Paleo.. they sell Dark chocolate chips that are paleo too!
Reply
can this be baked or is it best left raw?
Reply
its a raw recipe 🙂
Reply
Is it necessary to use protein powder in this? I don’t have any but this looks like the easiest cookie dough recipe and I’m really craving LOL… is there anything I could sub?
Reply
please check out the blog post again, I have revised it. it is now much healthier 🙂
Reply
I doubled this recipe adding 1 scoop vanilla whey and 1 scoop chocolate whey instead of the coco powder and chocolate chips. Separated into four containers and froze. Husband and I absolutely love it! It takes care of the sweet tooth while high in protein. Great recipe. Thanks for sharing.

Is the calories in this recipe for the whole recipe? Going to make this tonight!

Reblogged this on Sweaters with Blueberries and commented:
This is happening. Like tomorrow.Reply
Does this actually taste like real cookie dough? 🙂
Reply
I just made this with my protein powder and I don’t think it was enough powder. My scoop is 34 grams and it was really runny, good but not doughy enough I guess! Thanks…it’s a decent substitute for the real cookie dough.

They sound delicious! My grandpa has cancer for the fourth time and I was looking around for a really good cookie recipe with high protein. I’m wanting to use your recipe… I am going to use your recipe but I was wondering would I be able to bake them? I know it’s a no bake but I’m not sure of my grandpa would want to eat just cookie dough.
Reply
they are no bake. whole foods has a very healthy cookie dough that is edible raw and can be baked 🙂 i recommend it very much.
