No Bake THM Chocolate Cookies - A Revised Recipe
Since I started Trim Healthy Mama a year and a half ago, I haven't found too many desserts I like.
I adapted my favorite sponge cake to THM and you can find the recipe here. But, I wanted something easy and quick for summer snacking. I know there is a recipe out there for these no bake cookies, but because I didn't have heavy cream on hand, I changed it a bit. Here is my recipe;
1/4 c butter
2 TBSP cocoa powder
1/4 c water
1/2 c xylitol
2 Tbsp whey protein powder
Mix together in a saucepan and bring to a boil for one minute. Then add;
1/4 c natural peanut butter
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 c oats
1 c coconut
I used a 2 Tbsp cookie scoop to make into cookies and placed them on a wax paper lined cookie sheet. Then place in refrigerator until chilled. I made 16 cookies. Adding the coconut, I think, makes it more an S than just oatmeal like the original recipe I found. I did a rough check on the carbs and think there is about 3.5 net carbs per cookie. So that would make 2 a serving.
