INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup all-natural creamy peanut butter, drippy*
• 1/2 cup coconut palm sugar
• 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 large eggs
• optional: 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

1. First, preheat the oven to 350ºF and spray a baking sheet with coconut oil cooking spray.
2. Place all ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and mix to combine. The consistency should be similar to cookie dough. It should NOT be crumbly and if it is, this is a sign your peanut butter is not drippy enough and we recommend adding 1-2 teaspoons of melted coconut oil.
3. Spoon out 2 tablespoons of dough into your palms and roll into a ball. Flatten cookie dough between your palms creating a cookie shape and place it on a baking sheet. Note that your cookies won’t expand a lot, so flattening is important.
4. If desired, place mini chocolate chips on top of each cookie.
5. Bake chocolate peanut butter protein cookies at 350ºF for 10-12 minutes.
6. Let cool for 15 minutes before removing from the pan so that the protein cookies can set. If you remove them too soon, they may break in half.
