These cookies are a delightful and guilt-free treat that's perfect for indulging your sweet tooth. To make these delicious cookies, you'll need a creamy and rich almond butter as the base. Combine it with your choice of milk and a granulated monk fruit sweetener for a touch of sweetness without the sugar.
Add protein powder, whether it's your favorite flavor or unflavored, and unsweetened cocoa or cacao powder for a chocolatey punch. A hint of vanilla and a touch of baking soda ensure the cookies are perfectly balanced.
For the classic "chocolate-covered strawberry" touch, incorporate dark chocolate chips and broken pieces of freeze-dried strawberries or raspberries. These cookies are a guilt-free indulgence, rich in flavor and delight, perfect for satisfying your dessert cravings with a fruity twist. Enjoy the taste of chocolate-covered strawberries in every bite!

Bake at 350° for 8-10 min. Made 12 cookies. Store in the fridge. Good for a week.
Notes: Great dessert or snack. They're more of a healthy fat serving, so a yummy smoothie topper as your fat source or for a yogurt bowl. Really an anytime yummy.

So cozy! Yay. Thanks for commenting
Anything other sweetener I can use besides monk fruit? Honey? Maple syrup?

It’ll need to be a granulated sugar to keep the wet to dry ratio correct
I made these today. These are delicious. I had to swap the almond butter for sunflower butter. My kids already said they are taking one for school tomorrow. 😊

So glad you love!!
I made these today, after adding the protein powder, cocoa powder and monk fruit it was too dry to mix. I added more milk. They taste great, but forgot to add the chips.
