- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Delicious! I madea double batch!
Substitute for keto chow?
There isn’t a substitute. You would need to find a protein powder that uses milk protein isolate and also has the electrolytes and acacia gum present in Keto Chow.
Has anyone made these into balls, rolled them in a sweetener/cinnamon or pumpkin spice and then flatten to bake, without putting the cream cheese in the middle? Thank you. Oh I think these would also be good to make flatten and then put cream cheese frosting between to make a pumpkin Whoopie pie
We haven’t tried that, but you’ll have to let us know how it goes!
Just made these and they are delicious!! Definitely going to make my keto Thanksgiving much tastier!
Good but I think a dash to much baking powder could taste it in the cookie not quite over powering but a little to strong.
