Protein Energy Cookies

Protein Energy Cookies
This makes over 60 cookies!!

... • 4 cups of smooth peanut butter (little jars are 2 cups)
• 2 cups of honey (24 oz) (so you need 2 little bears)
• 2 cups of sunflower seeds (little over one jar)
• 1 1/3 cups of powdered milk/ or protein
• 8 cups of oats
• 2 cups of chocolate chips (optional but I totally recommend) (One 12 oz bag)
• 2-3 TBS butter (it says margarine but butter may be more calories but is a much better fat for you than margarine… I refuse to buy margarine)

• Put all ingredients in a LARGE bowl (and I’m talking HUGE) and mix it all up at room temperature. This is very messy and it takes some muscle and a little elbow grease to get this all mixed up ☺
• Use an ice cream scoop to measure out balls…. Then lightly press down… not too much.
• Put on ungreased cookie pan
• Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes. Less time is better!! This makes over 60 cookies, so if you have a conventional oven you can do three racks at a time. If you don’t have a conventional oven then plan on spending the morning baking! ☺
To keep fresh, put in plastic bags and refrigerate the one you are going to be having now and then double bag and freeze the rest. Great on the go snack ☺

Laci says: "This actually is a lot more like a whole wheat bread texture and taste even...would make a good hamburger bun or sandwich bread..not just to sit and eat a slice like I was thinking but great stuff!"
