Protein Cookies

Came home from work yesterday in the mood to bake so I whipped up some protein cookies. They went over well, and I've always like them so here is the recipe.

Note: This may say "cookies" but adjust your expectations, they are great but no sugar & no butter makes things different. Make them, enjoy them but don't expect Toll House or you'll be disappointed.

Pre-Heat Oven to 350 degrees.

1/2 Cup Chocolate Protein Powder
1 Cup Almond Meal
1/4 Cup Coconut Meal
1/4 Cup Unsweetened coconut flakes
2 Tablespoons Chia Seeds
1/4 Cup Oats
1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
4 Egg Whites
2 Tablespoons Plain Greek Yogurt
1 Tablespoon Honey (you could use agave, but reduce the amount)
3 Tablespoons Dark Chocolate Chips

Mix all the dry ingredients together first, then add wet ingredients.

Use non-stick cooking spray to prep cookie sheet.

Drop 12 tablespoon-ish size cookies on sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes.

*You don't have to worry about spacing these out on the cookie sheet, there are no ingredients to make them rise or expand so pretty much the size they are going in is the size they are coming out. Watch your first batch carefully to get the timing right, if they are over cooked you'll be using them as door stops instead of treats.

Enjoy!
