Hahahaha! I am so happy that you girls enjoy these cookies. They really are yummy. I will try with different extracts also. I am pretty sure that these cookies would be good with the vanilla drink because the vanilla mug cake was to die for. Another experiment pretty soon. Enjoy!!
Thanks Rainbow! That's exactly what I needed to know. I just happen to have some lemon IP packets that I was looking at this AM and I love anything lemon.
I am going to try it with those. I also have the HealthSmart Cocomint pudding that I want to try the cookies with. Maybe I will experiment later today. Can't wait to have some cookies!

the recipe stayed the same despite half the packet...i tried with less egg whites but the mixture was too crumbly....and the only thing i added was 1 tsp lemon extract to enhance the flavor
it wasn't much dough....so i decided to make tiny cut out lemon cookies.
the dough was a lot like play dough...easy to roll with my hands and easy to cut out.
because they were so tiny, i baked for 10 mins and they were pretty done...starting to brown on the bottom.
they were very light inside...a little chewy....and tasted lemony...
these are not bad!!! not as good to me as the cappuccino ones....which were extremely CRUNCHY!!!
and these....using the ip lemon pudding....STILL HAS THAT IP PUDDING TASTE...that does not appeal to ME.
but if you like the IP lemon pudding i am sure you'd LOVE these lemon cookies!!
hope that helps!!
just fyi ladies....DH came home from work and GOBBLED ALL THE LEMON COOKIES UP AND LOVED THEM!!! who knew??? hahaha

1 Pkg Chocolate Drink (or flavor of choice)
1 Egg White
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 Tbsp Olive or Grapeseed Oil
1 tsp Splenda or Stevia
Splash of Vanilla (or flavor of choice)
2 oz water
mix all together in a bowl. make 6 cookies and flatten out with back of a spoon. bake on 350 for 20-40 minutes. 20 minutes will give you "cake-like" cookies, and 40 minutes will give you crispy cookies!!

I've got these in the oven right now -- can't wait! It felt so good just to lick the bowl, even if I burn 'em (which is always a good chance with me! LOL) I think I like this because it feels 'normal' -- baking up some chocolate cookies in 20 min (vs. some weird veggie chip for 3 hours! LOL -- not that there's anything wrong with the weird veggie chips btw! )

Good thing you take photos so you have proof of your labours! Maybe you can get "scratch and sniff" photo paper if he won't let ya have any of the real deal!

With a sad irony, I just went and BOUGHT all kinds of the pudding packets as I saw so many people cooking with them that I thought I "should" get some. I hope they're not too bad. We have the premade pudding in Canada, so that's all I use and love the vanilla for that. Oh well, I'm determined to cook with these babies! Making your "buns" next (Are you enjoying all the compliments about your fab buns?? hee hee)
OK -- these were DELISH but of course, the kids and hubby wanted some too so I shared (all the while thinking "Enjoy boys, those are like $1.50 a cookie! LOL)
I have some shake mix from an alternative brand that I don't really like. Maybe this will be a new use for it!
(afternote: Using the alternative brand made 2x as many cookies so I hope they cook ok...batter was runnier)
(afternote #2: IP shake cookies are WAAAYYYY yummier than Pure Protein Shake cookies. My second batch are pretty much like dried cardboard! LOL)

i used an alternative cappuccino drink mix too and it was thick batter and make 6 pretty good size cookies....about 3 inch cookies. yum!!!!
i also did NOT like the cappuccino drink mix made as directed but LOVED the cookies!! go figure!!!

(afternote#3) Batch 2 was so gross I threw it out. BUT Batch 3 I doubled using one IP pack, and one scoop of the alternative, and it looks like it will work better this time. I did 6 chocolate cookies and then added a bit of raspberry syrup to the batter for the last 6, so I made 2 diff kinds... they SMELL good right now in the oven, and look nice and full. Hopefully the "double batch" is the secret to cutting down some of the cost without cutting the flavour
(afternote#4) Nope-- these are gross too. Drier than cardboard. Stick with original recipe using an IP pack only -- those were delish. I will try this with a pudding to see how that goes, but I'm going back to the recipe posted here and will add the Tbs of oil as recommended. I didn't add as much to these, and they need something to help them slide down (maybe WD40! LOL)
(afternote#5) THE NEXT MORNING -- These cardboard biscuits DID soften up overnight so are now edible. The taste is mediocre but at $4.00 a pack I'll choke them down with my coffee. SO if you make cookies that are TOO crispy, just leave them and they will soften up! LOL
