| Misha and Kona blocking yet another door |
Kona was the first one to perfect blocking doorways and being underfoot. Now, she has passed this "skill" along to our newbies, Misha and Nika, and even our cat, Bailey. We have tried to train this out of our brood but they are so darned pack-driven they just keep coming back to their favorite spots which happen to be in the way.

| Vegan chocolate kiss, cookie dough cookies |
Do you think I can blame all these dogs underfoot for my chocolate attacks/obsession? It works for me. I have been a lover of cookie dough since the beginning of time. Cookie dough balls, dipped in chocolate, fly out of my freezer. The last one I devoured recently was delicious but also an inspiration for another chocolate treat. As I savoured the last bite, I thought why not put the chocolate on the inside. That didn't work but instead Vegan chocolate kiss, cookie dough cookies were born. The name is a mouthful to say but who cares about the name, just eat 'em.
Vegan Chocalate Kiss, Cookie Dough Cookies
Ingredients:
1 cup ground raw or toasted sunflower seeds
1/3 cup quinoa flakes
2 scoops rice protein powder
1/4 cup cacao nibs
1 T. chia seeds
Pinch of salt
1 T. coconut nectar or agave nectar
Powdered stevia to taste
2 T. hemp milk or enough to make every stick together
Chocolate protein seed butter (make your own by combining 2 T. melted coconut oil with 1/2 cup unsweetened sunbutter or other seed/nut butter of choice, stevia, 2-3 scoops rice protein powder)
Directions:
For the cookie dough: mix everything but chocolate protein seed butter in a food processor. Scoop out tablespoonsful of the cookie dough and place onto a wax-paper lined cookie sheet. Pick up one hunk at a time and make a small indentation on top with your fingers. Fill the indentation with chocolate protein seed butter which serves as the "chocolate kiss." Place the cookie dough cookies in the freezer to firm everything up. Snack on as desired but be careful, these are dangerous!

Our Girls do exactly the same thing! Too funny.
I love that you put protein powder in your cookies. I'm thinking the extra boost of protein would be satiating so one wouldn't eat too many. . . ah, who am I kidding? ;)
Thanks for submitting to WW this week!
The protein actually does help keep you full longer which is a plus. But I agree, as a confirmed chocoholic, it won't necessarily keep you from eating more than one.
That is funny that your dogs like being obstacles too.
Hi Sheree,
YUM! Nice to know others' dogs' function as lumpy movable "rugs," too. Thanks for the continued inspiration on SunButter recipes. Take care.
I love your description of dogs as lumpy, moveable rugs! I see mine posing as that right now.
