That first one especially, looks YUMMY! Reminds me of some candies my mom used to make..er..cookies? Anyhow they were called a "snickerdoodle". I'll have to try this!

Hi I keep them in the freezer at work. I like them really cold and they taste like a yummy cookie to me too. Good luck

 ????  but but but Snickerdoodles are a cinnamon sugar cookie ???

ahh yes but from the wonders of growing up poor, my mama made em with oatmeal and chocolate...not the normal snickerdoodle - ma hadn't heard of those until after she named her "oopsie cookie" haha.

Thanks for sharing these recipes, and all in one place  :)

I love the idea of having a protein munchy!

Since peanut butter is one of my favorite foods, I will definitely be trying these! 

Do you use regular peanut butter of a reduced or fat free version? 

i've never heard of sugar free honey.....

Our Wal-Mart and Food Lion carries the sugar free honey.

Thanks for sharing...I am SOOOO trying the one with the chocolate protein powder!
