About

I can’t figure out why this recipe works so well...the ingredients are SO CLEAN and yet the cookies turn out SO GOOD. 

It’s truly a mind-bender. 

My best guess is that it boils down to 2 things:

1. Quality Ingredients: ​TRULEAN Cinamon Cereal Milk Protein Powder​ and Wellness Shot​ are filled with quality, clean ingredients of the purest form, and this really does impact flavor and consistency. Lesser products will produce less tasty cookies. 

​2. Technique: ​When using protein powder in your baking keep these 2 things in mind in order to produce baked goods that are fluffy and moist, and never hard or dry. Don’t overmix the dough - this causes the protein powder to get gummy. Slightly underbake the cookies - this prevents the cookies from getting too dry. 


Serves 12
For the Protein Cookies

¼ cup plus 1 Tablespoon coconut flour

⅓ cup granular Swerve

¼ teaspoon sea salt

¼ teaspoon baking soda

½ cup raw cashews, soaked in water for 10 minutes and drained

¼ cup almond milk

1 egg white

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Protein Wellness Frosting

2 tablespoons coconut oil

¼ cup Swerve Confectioners Style

1 tablespoon arrowroot starch

2 tablespoons almond milk


Directions
1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

In a mixing bowl combine the dry cookie ingredients: protein powder, coconut flour, granulated swerve, salt and baking soda. Mix to combine.

3

In a food processor combine the cashews and almond milk until smooth. Add the egg white and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Add the dry cookie ingredients and mix well.

4

Drop the dough in golf ball-sized balls of dough on the prepared parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Flatten each cookie dough ball, keeping 2 inches in between each cookie. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes.

5

With an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the coconut oil. Add the dry frosting ingredients: Wellness Shot, protein powder, confectioners swerve and arrowroot starch. Mix until combined, drizzling in the almond milk until fluffy.

6

Once the cookies have cooled, frost each cookie with the frosting. If desired, top with sprinkles. Enjoy!


Quick Tip

​If you’d rather not frost the cookies, roll each cookie dough ball in coconut sugar + cinnamon to create snickerdoodles!
