Chocolate chip protein cookies

Yields: 16 delicious cookies

Ingredients:

• 2 cups almond flour
• 3 tablespoons ghee or butter (ideally organic grass-fed butter) or coconut oil
• 3 tablespoons Metagenics vanilla protein powder
• 2 tsp natural liquid vanilla
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
• A pinch of pink salt
• A pinch of Stevia or a few drops of liquid Stevia
• 1/3 cup 70-85% dark chocolate, chopped

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 170°C / 340°F. Grease and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Add the almond flour, protein powder, pink salt, and baking powder to a bowl.
3. Pour the apple cider vinegar directly over the baking powder and let it react (it will fizz).
4. Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl and mix until uniform.
5. Taste the dough and add Stevia if needed.
6. Start rolling the mixture into small balls and place them on the baking sheet.
7. Press down lightly on the dough balls on the baking sheet if you prefer your cookies soft.
8. However, if you like a crunchier cookie, press down more firmly on the balls to flatten them further.
9. Place the cookies in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
10. Remove from the oven when ready and place the cookies on a cooling rack.
11. Store in an airtight container once completely cooled.

Enjoy! 🙂
