This is my first week on Medifast, and I must say, I am having a great time creating new shakes.

I just finished a chocolate banana (used Banana instant pudding) Very yummy!!!

Some others:

Chocolate Shake with Mint Extract
Pina Coloda Shake

I have been amazed with all the food - it is so good I actually look forward to eating it!

Could someone help me find the recipe to make cookies out of the oatmeal supplements. I have to go to a "dessert" party... I want to take my own dessert... I know it is on this forum somewhere.

Sorry, Little darlin' ~

Your inquiry must have come up while I was away in Sin City...

Here ya go

APPLE CINNAMON OATMEAL COOKIES

1 pkt Medifast Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal
¼ tsp cinnamon
3 tsp Splenda sweetener
1/3 cup water
1/8 tsp baking powder
½ tsp vanilla extract

Pre-heat oven to 350°.

Mix all dry ingredients together. Add extract and water. Stir until
moistened. Set aside for 5 minutes to allow ingredients to achieve appropriate consistency.

Place spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet (spray with Pam) and bake for 10 minutes or until cookies have browned.


I like a skosh of cloves and nutmeg, too.

so now I need to know ... are these cookies considered a medifast meal? or is this just a maintenance recipe?

Thanks --

They would be a medifast meal. Nothing in them to add calories or carbs, just flavorings and a leavener.

Yep, weight loss plan "Legal"

Mmmm! I made these tonight for the first time, for my last meal of the evening. I got six cookies out of the recipe. They were yummy! And eating them felt like having a treat! I will definitely be doing this a lot over the next few months (and not sharing with my kids either!).

[Nancy]

Of course they are good, I wouldn't steer ya wrong!

What do you think about the sweetness? Personally I like a tad bit less Splenda.

One time I used some left-over chai tea (not the Medifast Chai Latte, but the actual chai tea from when I dipped the chai tea teabag into the hot water and used the tea instead of the plain water the recipe calls for.) It gave the cookies a different flavor and the aroma while they baked was almost enough to make me think I was really cheating! It was a Medimemory to recall often.

They are M-m-m good!

Nancy and I were chatting on the phone yesterday and came up with a variation on the cookies-- we thought using the maple & brown sugar oatmeal, with a splash of gingerbread SF syrup, might make for some awesome spice cookies. I tried it last night, and they were great! I think I may have used a bit too much liquid (I combined the syrup and water to make 1/3 cup together, but it may still have been a bit much), so the cookies turned out to have *exactly* the same consistency as silver dollar pancakes. But hey-- who doesn't love silver dollar pancakes??? They were fun to eat and really did taste great.

oooo I have to try these. I have a box of oatmeal around here somewhere that I can't stand.

[kassilou]

mmmmmmmm good! I tried them for lunch today. Woo hoo! I can have cookies!!! Happy Dancin' here!

[raederle]

I love 'em, too! I have them at night, as my last MF meal, with a cup of non-caff tea. Makes me feel like I'm having a real dessert! THANK YOU to whomever thought up this recipe!

[24KaratGold]

A friend of mine was wondering whether these cookies would freeze well. I have to give that a try. Then they could be made up several batches at a time (being careful to keep track of how many cookies are made from one serving), and frozen, for carrying to work or wherever. Has anybody tried that?

[Nancy]

Whazzat?

FREEZE 'em you ask?

How could one possibly restrain themselves long enough to freeze a batch or two?

Here's my kitchen scenario - pull up a little bench and peer into the oven window while the delectable cookies are browning.

Wipe drool off my chin (notice I said Chin, as in singular. It used to be chins, plural).

The moment the timer ringy-dingy dings, grab 'em with the Ove' Glove, gingerly scarf them from the edge of the spatula.

Quickly plunge tongue in ice water to prevent blisters from forming...Dang! I hate it when Terry and Unca hafta call 9-1-1 because I have first degree burns on my 'buds.

However, you DID give me an idea...I could just lick the frost inside the freezer door to cool off my hotsy totsy tongue...
