Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup non-hydrogenated shortening (48g)*
- 1/4 cup golden monk fruit sweetener**
- 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 white 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.
-
Add in the white chocolate.
-
Scoop the cookie dough onto the 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.
-
Best stored in fridge or freezer.
Notes
*I use Nutiva shortening, which is made from organic coconut oil and palm oil. The best substitutes are grass fed butter or a vegan butter.
**Use anywhere between 1/4 - 1/3 cup sugar, depending on taste preference. I used golden monk fruit sweetener for a low carb option, but coconut sugar works well too.
