So many of you are asking for the protein cookie recipe that I made with Alyssa on tonight?s episode of Extreme Weight Loss! Heidi to save the day (or night)!! Here is this delicious, nutritious, and power-packed little circle of happiness ?. Oh, btw ? it takes about 120 seconds to make! That?s right ? it?s microwavable and super fast!
CinnaCocoa-Frosted Protein Cookies
Serves 1 (2 cookies)
What you?ll need:
For Cookie:
1 egg white
1 scoop vanilla protein powder

(you can add more cocoa and cinnamon to taste!)
How to make these easy, breezy bad boys:

Hey with these cookies can you replace the almond butter for peanut butter? Also do you prefer any almond butter over another?
Thank you!
I will let my kids eat cookies 🙂 thank you Heidi making these today
Looks amazing! I am making this tonight!
Do you have a recipe for cupcakes?
Not yet… but you never know what’s in the works. 🙂

Barb, it starts with you and your example. By purchasing healthy groceries and creating a healthy home you’ll do more for her health than any thing else out there. You can do it. She’s your motivation. Go for it! 🙂
Hi Heidi, can I only eat this on my carb day or reward day?
Yep 🙂
I was hoping to see the recipe after that episode. Lucky enough to meet you and Chris in Old Navy at North Field in Denver about a week ago. You both are an inspiration and so nice. Love you both and the show.
I did them in the microwave as one big blob in a covered corning dish, not two cookies. Worked just fine. Turns out like a pancake with the texture of angel food cake. When I don’t have time I just spread the almond butter on top and it works just fine. Had one for breakfast today and it kept me full for quite a while. Thanks!
