Just make sure that your protein powder is heat stable as most aren't. If the protein powder isn't heat stable the protein will break down & you won't be getting the full amount of added protein. Optimal Nutrition makes a heat stable protein called Any Whey. It is heat stable up to 450 degrees. I use it to make my own protein bars. Read More

make sure the protein powder has no noticable taste. Otherwise this is a great cookie! Read More

I was so excited to find a recipe that would use up that extra protein powder I had sitting around my house. I was wondering if the cookies would be any good and they really really were! One note - I did use a chocolate flavored powder which seemed to blend well with the other ingredients. The cookies seem a little 'heavy' but they are soft and delicious! Also my yield was much higher and I made them into what I thought were decent-sized cookies. Thanks for a good and interesting recipe! Read More

I loved this! I used milk as suggested and because of the comments about the consistency of the cookies i.e. cake like I pressed the dough into a 9 x 13 pan. The came out like brownies and were wonderful. I also used splenda brown sugar mix and regular spenda in place of the sugar. I used butter flavored Pam to coat the pan. Read More

I used chocolate protein powder and a little extra peanut butter and milk instead of water. I added rum-soaked raisins to the mix and made the cookies double-sized. A couple that were slightly undercooked were moist in the center others were more cake-like. I recommend the moist ones and next time I want to use vanilla protein powder and white chocolate chips!

Just made a batch but without chocolate chips. The cookies taste great. They're a little dry - you need a glass of water by your side but they're really good. I'm happy to have found a high protein recipe! Read More

I used whole wheat flour and Splenda instead of white sugar and they were still tasty! I will definitely make these again and next time I'll follow another reviewer's tip and use milk instead of water. Read More
