So we've heard of all those delicious types of cookies from plain chocolate to ice cream cookies.. have any of you considered protein cookies?! Why yes protein, the biochemical compound we all know and love.. and tons of them in a cookie! I've attached a do-protein-yourself directions, (psst.. the secret ingredient for protein cookies is protein) for a great healthy on the go snack.
Makes 14-16
Ingredients:
- 2 scoops protein powder
- 1 can chickpeas (19oz) rinsed and drained
- ¼ cup agave & 2 tbsp (for no-sugar stevia)
- ½ cup almond butter (or peanut butter)
- 5 dates
- dash of cinnamon
- 1/3 cup coconut unsweetened
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 4 tbsp ground flax
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup egg whites
- 1/4 cup wheat germ
Directions:
- Place all ingredients into the food processor and blend until smooth (stopping to scrape down the sides).
- If you find the mixture too thick add ¼ cup of warm water and blend again.
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Scoop batter onto baking sheet in the form of cookies. Make sure the cookies do not touch.
- Bake for 26 minutes – check on these often as every oven is so different! You want these to be golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, place on a wire rack and let cool completely.
