Ingredient List

1/4 Cup Monkfruit/Erythritol Blend
1/4 Cup Gold Monkfruit Blend
1 Large Egg
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
1 Tablespoon Gelatin
1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda

How to Make Chocolate Peppermint Protein Cookies
Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit, and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Using a stand mixer cream the butter and sweeteners until fairly smooth and creamy. Don’t be alarmed if the mixture is still slightly grainy! Erythritol doesn’t dissolve as well as traditional sugar, and it will smooth out once the rest of the ingredients are added.
After you have combined the butter and sweetener, add the egg and vanilla and mix. Scrape the sides of the mixer, and mix again until everything has been well incorporated,
Next, add the gelatin, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and Jocko Mölk Mint Chocolate Protein Powder. Turn the mixer on low, and add slowly add the cocoa to avoid being lost in a chocolate cloud.
Once these ingredients have been mixed, add the almond flour and mix again. Scrape the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is mixed in evenly and mix again.
Either by hand or on low add the Lily’s white chocolate peppermint chips until they have been evenly distributed.
Once your dough has been mixed and the chips added, roll the dough into inch and a half balls and place the prepared baking sheet. After you have filled the pan with cookies lightly flatten each cookie with the palm of your hand.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until they have just set. Remove the pan from the oven and let your cookies cool completely before removing them from the pan.
Enjoy with a tall glass of milk or a cup of coffee!
