Choc Cookies 🍪 [GF]

As a professional procrastibaker, instead of doing something productive I decided to make freshly baked cookies to greet my boyfriend when he got home from work bc nothing says I love you like freshly baked cookies. With added protein, less sugars, super tasty + gluten-free.

Ingredients:

150 g cashew butter(or any nut butter of preference - peanut will be a lot cheaper)

50 g ground almonds

20 g vanilla whey protein(or any other flavour preference)

25 g golden erythritol(or brown sugar alternative)

15 g xylitol(or preferred granulated sweetener)

½ tsp baking powder

1 tsp coconut oil

1 tsp vanilla flavouring

2 egg whites

handful of chocolate chunks of choice - we use milk choc here but use whichever you prefer(sugar-free option if needed)

Method:

Line a baking tray with greaseproof baking paper and pre-heat oven to 170 Degrees C.

In a bowl, combine your dry ingredients then fold in wet ingredients leaving chocolate chunks for last. Place in freezer for 10 minutes – this will help roll the cookies onto the baking paper.

With a tablespoon, grab a spoonful and roll into a ball with your hands then place onto baking sheet. Repeat until all mix is used. Dip fingers into a tiny bit of water and flatten/ shape your cookies.

Leave to cool completely. Recipe yielded approx 12 cookies.

Notes

* If you don’t have ground almonds I would suggest ground oats, however almonds will give you a MUCH better texture for cookies, oats will dry up more.

** If you don't mind sugar for this recipe, brown sugar or coconut sugar will give this recipe a more authentic cookie texture. You could also add 1 Tbsp of cornflour for a crispier outside.
