Healthy Chocolate Chip Protein Cookies for Two

Ingredients

• 1 Egg White
• 1 Tbsp Apple Sauce
• 1 Tbsp Canola Oil Melted Coconut Oil or Butter
• 2 tsp Honey
• 1 tsp Maple Syrup
• 1 Tbsp Almond Meal
• 4 tsp Gluten Free Flour Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1, Namaste, or King Arthur Multi-Purpose
• 1/2 Scoop Vanilla Protein Powder (1/2 of a 36g scoop - we used Purely Inspired
• 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
• 1/8 tsp Salt
• Mini Chocolate Chips 3-4 Tbsp

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350f.
• In a small bowl or mug, whisk together the first 5 wet ingredients.
• Add the next 5 ingredients, whisking briskly after each ingredient is added.
• Add chocolate chips!
• Use mini ice cream scoop or tablespoon to scoop into 6 small cookies onto a silicone baking sheet or greased cookie sheet.*
• Bake for 6-8 minutes until the edge are just barely golden and cookies are set.

*Dough will be stretchy, thinner than normal cookie dough, and more like a thick batter. The dough should spread slightly when you scoop it onto the cookie sheet. Texture is everything with this dough- since the dough doesn't usually spread much more while baking, so if the dough is spreading thinner than you prefer (if you like cakier cookies), add just a little more GF flour.

Some other fun additions to these Healthy Chocolate Chip Protein Cookies for Two that you could try:

• Nuts
• Cinnamon
• Substitute 1 Tbsp of GF flour for Oats for an oatmeal version
• Chocolate Protein Powder instead of Vanilla
• Coconut flakes
