Peanut Butter Protein Cookies

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 3

Combine the peanut butter, coconut sugar, eggs, and vanilla protein powder in a large bowl and mix together until the consistency resembles cookie dough. (Some peanut butters can be creamier than others - so if your mixture looks a little too liquidy, you can add a little more protein powder or, if it looks too dry and crumbly, you can add a little more peanut butter.)

Step 4

Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the batter and roll it into a ball using your hands. You may need to wet your hands with a few drops of water to keep the batter from sticking.

Step 5

Flatten the ball between your palms and then place on the prepared cookie sheet.

Step 6

Repeat with the remaining dough, leaving space in between the cookies on the baking sheet.

Step 7

Using a fork, press down gently on each cookie to create criss-cross marks. If the fork sticks, you can dip it in water as necessary.

Step 8

Transfer the cookie sheet into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies just slightly start to turn brown.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let sit for a couple minutes to set before moving to a cooling rack to cool completely.
