Peanut Butter Protein Cookies

Football season has started..I only know this because I work in a predominately male workforce and they talk about it constantly..and my BF is a huge Chicago Bears fan. He grew up just outside of Chicago. So ever since the end of last season, it was.. "5 more months until the beginning of next season!" I heard it the whoolle time. So when the first Bears game of the season came, I decided to throw a football BBQ party to celebrate the first game! I decided to make Stout cupcakes (recipe to follow :D) and a friend requested peanut butter protein cookies. She's very fit and healthy and I feel bad trying to feed her my baked goods haha, so this is one that is a great alternative. I looked on the internet and found a few recipes, I liked this one the best from Fitness and Spice website http://www.fitnessandspice.com/2010/12/peanut-butter-protein-cookies/. They taste like peanut butter cookies and only have 5 ingredients! Pretty good.

Peanut Butter Protein Cookies

1 Egg (or Egg Beater)
1/2 cup Sugar Substitute (I use Splenda)
1 t Vanilla Extract
1 cup Natural Peanut Butter
1/2 cup Vanilla Protein Powder

Whisk together the egg, sugar substitute, and vanilla. Stir in the peanut butter and gradually mix in the protein powder.

Drop by the teaspoon onto a prepared baking sheet,

flatten dough with a wet fork to prevent sticking,

and bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Makes 2 dozen cookies.

It's not your usual baked sweets, but, this one's actually good for you! :D Enjoy!
