These high protein cookies are the perfect answer to your sweet tooth, a great quick and easy post workout snack, and kid approved! You can also use almond butter in place of peanut butter. I made these cookies last Friday (no school day) and they were gone by bedtime.

Sugar Free High Protein Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients:

1 cup peanut butter

1 egg

1/2- 2/3 cup Monk Fruit (depends how sweet you like them- I prefer a little less sweet so 1/2 Cup was perfect for my tastebuds)

1 Scoop vanilla protein powder

Directions:

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a medium sized bowl mix the monk fruit and protein powder. I use a wooden spoon but you can use an electric mixer as well.
Mix Monkfruit and Protein Powder first
Add peanut butter and egg – mix well until combined.
Mix well with wooden spoon or electric mixer
Roll cookie dough into 1-2 inch balls and set on an ungreased baking sheet. Using a fork press down to flatten. If the ends crack you can use your fingers to press back together slightly.
Roll into balls before flattening them with a fork
Bake for 6-10 minutes, depending on how small or large you make them.
Allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes.
