Milk and cottage cheese are far apart. Milk has about 1.5 times as many carbs as protein, cottage cheese has over twice as much protein as carbs. And cottage cheese is more concentrated.[/quote] You’re right on the milk, but cottage cheese actualy has 4-6 times more protein than carbs. That’s why it’s a super food!
Which works better vanilla or choc Metabolic Drive (not that they have either in stock)?
I just made a bach, and they insanely gross! I even added extra sweetner, some cinnimon, and extra cocoa.
Maybe it’s just my personal taste. I don’t mind cottage cheese or any of the other ingredient on their own, but damn, put them together and I don’t what happens.
Anyone else try them?
Having just made the cookies, I must say that they are not bad. They seem to be more akin to muffins/bread. Looking at my pan, I would almost recommend making them into cupcakes, wrappers and all.
The taste is all right, but not near the taste of the uncooked batter.
I have often mixed cottage cheese and protein powder, but never with oat flour. I can only liken the uncooked combination to cheese cake; it’s really that good.
Thus, I would highly recommend mixing up the batter, and eating it in its raw state.

funny i made them last night…
mine sucked.
i agree with the whole muffin thing, the cookie texture seems way more akin to a muffin, and i think the cook time as recommended is about 2 minutes too long if you want them moist. the batter came out way too clumpy and dry, i added one egg to the mix and it seemed to take care of it. also, overall they didnt have much taste period. i also added some cinamonn, more pb, and granola bits to the second tray after trying the first batch wich tasted like a cross between rubber and styrofoam. that helped a bit, but overall i was dissapointed.
whats the recipe?

High Protein Cookies
Cookies that help you build muscle. Really. Check it out:
2 cups rolled oats: put them into the food processor and make them into flour
Add 6 scoops of Metabolic Drive
Add 24 oz of cottage cheese
Blend well, then grease a cookie sheet. Drop 4 oz size piles of dough on the sheet. Bake at 300 degrees for 13 minutes and you’ve got chewy cookies! Makes ten 4 oz cookies. To make a peanut butter cup flavored cookie, use chocolate Metabolic Drive and 3 tablespoons of crunchy natural peanut butter. So tasty you won’t believe they’re good for you!
i made these this weekend also. ate half a cookie and threw the rest away. the texture and taste just weren’t for me.
if you want to try and make a cookie or bar, give this recipe a try. it’s pretty messy, but a bit tastier, at least to me.
8 scoops chocolate Metabolic Drive
1.5 cups of fresh mixed berries
1 cup of oatmeal
4 tbl all natural peanut butter
1 tbl vanilla extract
1 ts cinnamon
mash up the berries til they’re basically just a juicy pulp (they provide the liquid). mix it in really well with all the other ingredients. when you’re done, you should have a giant ball of protein cookie dough. divide it in 8 equal parts, shape it as you like, and keep 'em in the fridge for snacks.
the texture will be kinda tacky and chewy and a bit dry, kinda like a powerbar, but with about 22 grams of high quality protein per serving.
I don’t go shopping much, so i dont’ really know the products for sale. Do they sell oat flour at supermarkets? or do you have to make it yourself?
Did anyone try smoothing the cottage cheese out in a food processor before adding them to the batter?
that seems like a good tip chinadoll!

I’ll post here how the cookies turned out when I try this and my other “tweaks”.
It was definately not what I was expecting, but it wasn’t bad at all, and my wife can’t stop scarfing them. I put a pinch of sweetener on top of the cookies as they were baking, which helps make it a bit sweeter, but as others have said, they are much more akin to a muffin texture.
I quite like them actually.
Lucerne makes No-salt added cottage cheese(made from 1% milkfat)
this is AMAZING cottage cheese for mixing into shakes. I usually find that the salt in cottage cheese heavily combats the sweetness of metabolic drive and other protein powders. It really helps in making just about anything with the stuff.
I tried these this weekend. I mixed peanut butter and some splenda with half the batch and it was much better than the half without. I used chocolate Grow for the protien. The half without the peanut butter was actually pretty nasty.
I was actually thinking the same as Chinadoll and going to put the Cottage cheese in the food processor next time and also maybe an egg white or two
Here are the stats for non-fat cottage cheese as printed on the carton.
Serving Size: 1/2 cup
Calories:70
Fat:0g
Total Carbs: 5g
Protein: 13g
Thats a 2.6 : 1 ratio of protein to carbs, and no extra fat to boot!

I’m going to try an egg white or two too. And the peanut butter input, I’ll do that. Thank you for sharing your tips! I like crunchy cookies, not cake-like. Anybody tried overbaking the cookies and/or making them a bit thinner??
I made these last night. Came out pretty good too. More like a scone than a cookie though.
I changed it a little:
I used banana flavored protein powder, added a 1/4 tbls of cinnimon, 3 tbls of peanutbutter, 5 packs of equal sweetner (out of splenda). Also I blended the cottage cheese with 1 cup non-fat milk.
Surprisingly good even my Girlfriend liked them.
Has anyone tried sticking these in a dehydrater rather than cooking them? I always end up with a nasty cake like thing when I’ve attempted ‘designing’ a healthy protein cookie. As someone said, the batter tastes pretty good, but cooking seems to ruin them. If you could dry the cookies rather than cooking them, they may be better, I may give it a try and let you guys know.
