Christmas Cookies

[Linda Pittsburgh]

Does anyone have any recipes for high protein Christmas cookies? TYIA

Was wondering that myself. Lol

I’m not sure if you’re on Pinterest, but there are tons of recipes for different types of protein treats. There are so many different types that it amazes me! I made protein pumpkin muffins the other day. They were tasty but dense. Surprisingly, my 10 yo son LOVED them. He ate the majority of them which made me happy because he usually doesn’t like the high protein treats I make lol

Well that sounds like a challenge. I'll have to do some looking on pinterest and try them out. If I come across a winner I surely will let all of you know.

I'm so tempted to make some old school Norwegian pastries my grandmother used to make. Krumbkake, Rosette and of course Kling/Lefse, (not that weak stuff sold in grocery stores, my grandmother called that potato bread). This: Kling Lefse She used to make the good stuff with a higher portion of flour and home made a light whip buttery sweet filling. No making these high protein. Krumbkake is basically like a sweet waffle ice cream cone we all love but with a bit more delicate nature to it. The Rosettes were hallow, crispy and light as air. Hard enough to find the tools to make these anymore and still carry the technique. My mother showed me several times and I used to watch my grandmothers make them as well. Something that is so tasty and simple ingredients is very hard to make and requires a touch.

Oh my! That brings back memories. I use to make those rosettes many years ago. I don't even know if I still have the tool or not. Probably a good thing as they are so light and can easily eat quite of few of these - at least in the old days.
