Protein Cookies

I'm going to try a new recipe I got from a runner friend.  They are basically no bake cookies made with peanut butter, protein powder and oatmeal.  I've always been a Clif Bar/Power Bar kind of guy but the thought of making my own and knowing every ingredient is a good thing.  On top of it all, they dont taste too bad.

Here's the recipe.  If anyone reads this and has any other recipes please share them.  This recipe makes a dozen I believe.

1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup milk
4-5 tablespoons chocolate protein powder or cocoa
1 1/2 cups Splenda sugar substitute
1/2 cup peanut butter
3 1/2 cups quick oats
2-3 tablespoons vanilla
1. Melt margarine in a saucepan and add milk, protein powder and Splenda.
2. Bring to a boil for no more than a minute or until thick.
3. Remove from heat and add in the oats, peanut butter and vanilla.
4. Mix well.
5. If too crumbly add a touch of water, but this should not be needed.
6. Press into cookies and set to cool on wax paper.
7. Enjoy!
