Snickerdoodle Protein Cookies
Good morning, pals! I know I’ve told you a bunch about how I usually love cooking way more than baking… but I was inspired by my new Terra Origin Cinnamon Protein Powder! As soon as I opened it up and smelled all the cinnamon goodness, I knew it needed to be turned into cookies. No question – healthy snickerdoodle protein cookies, here I come!
To be honest, I want to continue recipe testing with this protein powder, because I think there are a lot more variations I can make with it. But for now, I wanted to share this version because the ingredients I used are SO clean! Almond flour, coconut oil, an egg, protein powder and a little pure maple syrup… nothing bad about those things! You could honestly eat these for breakfast – and I consider that a huge win.
When you add everything together, the dough that forms is really thick which makes it easy to form before baking. I personally think you could make these cookies even smaller – especially because the crunchy edges are the best part.
I also love that these cookies only need 8-9 minutes in the oven. So quick!
If you prefer your cookies to be sweeter, I recommend making a cinnamon glaze to drizzle over the top of the cookies. If that’s still not enough, just make the glaze a little thicker. Then, dip the top of each cookie right in there so it covers more surface area!
