Description
These hemp protein cookies are the perfect guilt-free treat! They're made with hemp protein powder and loaded with dark chocolate chips.
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup palm shortening, room temp (48g)*
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar**
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup blanched almond flour (95g)
- 1/3 cup hemp protein powder (25g)***
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup miniature dark chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine egg, shortening, sugar and vanilla. Whisk with a fork, then add in almond flour, hemp protein, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Mix until well combined.
-
Fold in the chocolate chips.
-
Scoop the cookie dough onto your lined baking sheet. I used a large cookie scoop, making each cookie about 2 tablespoons of dough. The cookies do spread, so be sure to leave 1-2 inches between each cookie.
-
Place the cookies in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes.
-
Remove cookies from oven and cool to room temperature on the baking sheet.
-
Store cookies in an airtight container or baggie. Keep in the fridge for up to one week, or the freezer up to one month.
Notes
*May swap shortening for grass fed butter.
**Use anywhere between 1/4 - 1/3 cup sugar, depending on taste preference. I used coconut sugar, but golden monk fruit sweetener is great for a low carb option.
