In honor of cooking and baking with lots of pumpkin lately, I’ve created these tasty, healthier variety of cookies using whey protein. They were moist and delicious and so pumpkiny! I used Metabolic Nutrition’s Protozyme Whey in Vanilla Cake, but you can use any vanilla whey you have.
Feels like fall, even Phoenix thinks so!
