POWER PROTEIN COOKIES

Just because you are eating a clean, balanced diet doesn't mean you can't enjoy some dessert every once in a while, or even more than once in a while.  Try out my Power Protein Cookie recipe below and you won't feel guilty the next time you want to indulge.  I like to make as part of a post-workout snack or a healthy dessert...

1 cup uncooked oats
