Slice and No-bake Cookies

I went surfing this weekend.

No I didn’t.

But I did do some biking and surfing the world wide web, but just saying “I went surfing” sounds totally cooler. By the way, why do they call it “surfing” the net anyway? Why not biking, hiking or climbing the net?

Anyway, while I was browsing the net for something new to satisfy my healthy sweet tooth, I ran across a great recipe for some lemon cookies. The only problem is now I can’t find the source of said cookies or the original recipe. But you are in luck because I modified the recipe (shocking, I know!) and I wrote that one down. Here’s the recipe for some really refreshing…

Slice and No-bake Lemon Protein Cookies

  • 1 cup Unsalted almonds
  • 1/3 cup Vanilla protein powder
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 T Water
  • Stevia to taste (I used a small amount of NuNaturals NuStevia in liquid form but any sweetener will do)

Blend all ingredients together in your food processor or high powered blender. Remove the cookie mixture and place onto a sheet of waxed paper and form the dough into the shape of a log. Wrap the dough in waxed paper and pop it into the freezer. Once chilled but not frozen, remove from the freezer, and slice into 8-12 pieces. Enjoy chilled.

Now I really must go do some more surfing, if you don’t hear from me tomorrow send some lemon-ade.

I’ve always wondered why they call it surfing, too! Maybe it IS because it sounds so cool! So do these cookies. :)

Wouldn’t it be easier to just use almond flour instead of grinding almonds, since many of us don’t have powerful enough blenders to grind almonds with?
