Chocolate chip protein cookies
1 large egg
1/2 cup of chocolate Nutrasumma protein powder
1/4 cup of coconut flour
1/2 tsp of baking soda
1/4 cup of flaked coconut
1/4 cup of milk*
10 ground Brazil nuts
1/8 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips
*(We used coconut milk, but any type will work.)
Preheat oven to 340 F or 170 C.
Mix together egg, protein powder, coconut flour, baking soda, coconut, milk, and ground nuts.
Once dough is formed, stir in chocolate chips.
Using a spoon, divide mixture into 12 cookies and place on a sprayed cookie sheet.
Put in oven for 15-20 minutes.
Remove them from the oven as soon as they cook through. It’s good if they’re a bit soft in the center. Make sure you don’t overcook them because they’ll dry up and lose their charm if you do.
Let them cool, pour yourself a tall glass of milk and boom! Enjoy a couple of cookies!
Notes:
If you want lower-calorie and lower-fat cookies: use oats instead of flaked coconut, almonds or walnuts instead of Brazil nuts, and cocoa powder instead of chocolate chips.
