How to Make Cookies and Cream Cookies
Making Cookies and Cream Cookies may sound intimidating but it’s really quite easy. All you’ll need is old fashioned oats, chocolate protein powder, baking powder, softened coconut oil, an egg, a little milk and some chocolate sandwich cookies to make the base. Plus, the yummy yogurt frosting only requires a few basic ingredients.
Start by placing the oats in a food processor and process until you get a flour-like texture. Add in the protein powder, baking powder, coconut oil and egg, then process until everything is well combined. If the batter is too thick, you can add some splashes of milk to thin it out as needed. Lastly, fold in the crushed cookies and spoon the batter onto a baking sheet.
Place the cookies in the freezer for 15 minutes before transferring them to preheated oven (350 degrees) for 10 to 12 minutes. Once they’re done baking, let the cookies cool on the pan for five minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
To complete this cookies and cream masterpiece, whip up some homemade yogurt frosting with nonfat plain Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, sugar and a crushed chocolate sandwich cookie. Spread the frosting over all of your cooled cookies. After that, all that’s left to do is store them safely in the refrigerator! With cookies and cream cookies, it’s easy to satisfy even the strongest sweet tooth cravings.
