How to Make Cookies and Cream Protein Cookies
Begin by preheating your oven to 350° Fahrenheit, and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Using a stand mixer, cream the cream cheese, butter, and sweetener in a mixing bowl until you have a smooth creamy mixture.
Next, add the eggs and mix on low until everything has been evenly incorporated. You may have to stop the mixer and scrape the sides a time or two to ensure your cream cheese mixture mixes evenly into the eggs.
If you still have small lumps at this point don’t worry! They will work themselves out as you mix in the other ingredients.
Next, add the gelatin, baking soda, salt, vanilla, and protein powder. Mix again until everything has been evenly incorporated.
Carefully measure your coconut flour and mix it in. Make sure you have the measuring cup evenly filled and don’t have a heaping cup full. I cannot stress the importance of this enough!
Coconut flour absorbs moisture and lots of it. If you heap your measuring cup even a little you may find yourself with a dry crumbly dough, and your cookies may turn out crumbly instead of soft and moist.
When you first mix in the coconut flour, you may think your dough seems too sticky and may be tempted to add more flour. Before doing so let the dough rest for a few minutes. As the dough rests the coconut flour will absorb moisture, and you will find the texture of your dough will change significantly!
After mixing in the coconut flour, add the chocolate chips, and gently mix in until evenly incorporated.
Let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes, then roll the dough into 1 1/2-2 inch balls and place them about two inches apart on the baking sheet.
Even after the dough has set up it will still be fairly sticky, and there’s no question you will get messy! If you are struggling to roll out balls of dough, put a little olive oil on your hands before rolling. While this won’t eliminate the mess entirely, it will help out a ton!!! If the dough is still too sticky to work with add more coconut flour a teaspoon at a time until you have a workable dough.
Once you have your cookie sheet full of cookies, lightly flatten the top of the cookies with the palm of your hand.
Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the tops have begun to crack and the edges have begun to lightly brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven, and let them cool before removing them from the pan.
Enjoy!
