****** I used Lean Dessert Cinnamon Roll protein powder, and their scoops are half the size of other brands, feel free to use vanilla protein powder if youd like, but if you do so, only use 2 scoops instead of 4.

OMG I am making these tonight!  I don't have any apples though ... do you think they will come out OK with just applesauce??

Look so delicious Flower!

HaHa nevermind ... I just went to McDonald's and got one of those apple dipper sides for the apples. Couldn't be bothered to drive across town to the grocery store for 1 apple.

Thanks for posting this!

Flower, is Lean Dessert the brand name for the protein powder? Where do you buy it or order it from?

Thanks.

Meg,

Lean Dessert flavors are made by BSN, I buy them through GNC online though, as the stores dont normally have all the yummy flavors. But honestly, you could use whatever vanilla protein powder you want instead of the cinnamon roll, Im sure it would be just as yummy.  By the way, I am posting two more recipes for cookies in just a minute so check them out!

Hope your doing well!!
