DF Sugar-Free Chocolate Chip Protein Cookies

Ingredients: (12 cookies)

• 1 ½ cups almond flour
• 1 scoop vanilla or chocolate protein powder
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup sugar-free sweetener (like erythritol or monk fruit)
• ¼ cup melted coconut oil or unsalted butter
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup sugar-free chocolate chips
• Optional: 1-2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (if dough is too dry)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together almond flour, protein powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar-free sweetener.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the melted coconut oil (or butter), egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

4. Form the Dough: Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. If the dough seems too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of unsweetened almond milk until the consistency is right.

5. Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips.

6. Shape the Cookies: Scoop out tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, flattening slightly with your hand.

7. Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown.

8. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Enjoy: Once cooled, enjoy your sugar-free chocolate chip protein cookies!
