Recipe Wednesday - Have Your Cookie and Lose Too

This is a cookie recipe Dr. Oz talked about on his show.  Haven't tried it yet because I need the flaxseed meal and soy protein powder, but have put them on my shopping list.  It would be great to have a 'guiltless' sweet treat so I'm willing to give this recipe a try!

Cookies to lose weight? It's true! These protein-packed cookies help to cut down on cravings. Enjoy them with a shot of espresso to trick your body into feeling fuller sooner.
