Halloween Cookie House

With my October theme of Treats and Sweets, I first thought lentils would be the most difficult ingredient in this months recipe challenge. But...

Almost immediately I had this idea of a protein cookie haunted house, and it instantly turned into the most fun week.

There's a ghost flying out of the upstairs window, a couple of glittery bats flying around, and a pumpkin.

Okay, maybe not so haunted. Not so spooky.

Protein Cookie Recipe

Even when I was creating this recipe and testing it, I figured it was more of a 'Chopped Challenge" style recipe, and not one that I would make again, let alone encourage my readers to use.

These cookies? are really good.

Now I think I may add lentils to many of my cut out cookie recipes. These taste great, and just as easy as any roll out, cut out cookie recipe.

We make our Vegan Gingerbread House each holiday season using this recipe.
