Happy Chocolate Chip Cookie Day!

There literally seems to be a day for every single food, condiment, spice, baked good, anything-slightly-culinarily-related these days. But, especially considering O.G. chocolate chip cookies are one of my better known specialties, who would I be to pass this up?

Instead of a plain ol’ recipe for cookies, here is a special little treat I will occasionally make myself (that is just like eating my O.G. cookies all mushy-like with a spoon.. Mmm..)

Post-Workout Warm Cookie Dough in a Bowl

Mix the following ingredients in a good-sized bowl:

¼ C. cream of rice (dry) + 3/4 C. water 
½ C. + 3 Tbsp liquid egg whites
½ tsp butter extract
½ tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of ground instant coffee
1 Tbsp brown sugar [OR] 1/2 Tbsp maple syrup + 2 Tbsp stevia [OR] 1 Tbsp Splenda brown sugar for baking

Cook above in microwave, whisking every minute until nice 'n thick (I start with 2 minutes, whisk, 1 minute, whisk, 1 minute, whisk... you get the idea). If it gets TOO thick, just whisk in more water. Let it cool a good five minutes or so (it will be really hot), then stir in: 

1 heaping Tbsp semi-sweet chocolate chips (preferably 70% or darker)

I pretty much let it cool down to only slightly warm before adding them in, otherwise the chocolate chips will just melt away as soon as you start stirring. You can always just sprinkle them on top though.

There are tons of substitutions and variations that can be made of this, too. Using oats, protein powder, different additives (walnuts, cacao nibs, blueberries...). Play around and see what works! This in particular is suited best for a PWO meal because of the faster-absorbing (high-glycemic) carbohydrates, ratio of protein to those carbs, and lower fat.

Tasty and effective! Enjoy!
