Notes
Will the protein powder flavor be noticeable?
Depends on the brand. Chocolate protein powders usually blend well, but some may have a chalky or sweetener-heavy taste. Using chocolate chips helps balance that.
My cookies came out soft—why?
That’s normal for this recipe! The combo of almond flour, protein powder, and no refined sugar creates a soft, slightly dense cookie.
How much protein is there per serving?
The recipe makes 8 cookies, and each cookie has approximately 9 grams of protein.
