Ingredient List

  • 1 1/2 Cups Almond Flour
  • 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar Substitute
  • 1/2 Cup Jocko Gingerbread Cookie Protein Powder
  • 1/2 Teaspooon Baking Soda
  • Pinch Of Salt
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 Teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • 1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter (melted and browned)
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

 

How to Make Gingerbread Protein Cookies 

  1. Begin by preheating the oven to 350° Fahrenheit and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Next, melt the butter on medium heat in a small saucepan, stir often and boil for 3-5 minutes or until the butter has turned a caramel brown color.
  3. Once the butter has browned remove from heat, and let it cool to room temperature while you mix up the cookies.
  4. In a large mixing bowl combine the almond flour, sweetener, protein powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ginger. Mix together until evenly combined.
  5. Next, add the egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Mix with a spatula or by hand until evenly incorporated. The dough may be a bit crumbly but as long as it will hold its shape when pressed it’s perfect!
  6. Roll the dough into approximately two-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Press each ball gently with the palm of your hand flattening them until they are about 3/4 of an inch thick.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges have begun to brown and the middles crack.
  9. After you have baked your cookies, let them cool completely before serving.

If you try these warm, you may not be satisfied with the results! The sweetener used in this recipe loses some of its sweetness when warm. This of course has a huge effect on the flavor of the cookies! Let them cool to room temperature and then enjoy!
