Protein Chocolate Peppermint Cookies

Ingredients

1/2 cup Granulated Sugar Substitute
1/2 cup Light Butter
1 tsp Vanilla extract)
2 scoops Grass-Fed Whey Chocolate Protein Powder
6 Tbsp All Purpose Flour   
2 Tbsp Black or Dark Cocoa Powder        
1/2 tsp Baking Powder      
1/2 cup White Chocolate Chips 
2-3 Tbsp Crushed Candy Canes

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cream the butter and sugar substitute together.

Mix the protein powder, cocoa, baking powder, and flour together in a small bowl before adding to the butter and sugar. Mix until you have a crumbly dough that can be formed by hand.

Divide the dough into balls and press between your palms to form cookies.

Bake for 6-8 minutes or until the centers are still soft but not gooey. Let them briefly cool before transferring to a cooling rack to completely cool.

Microwave the chocolate chips in 20-30 second intervals, stirring along the way, until melted and smooth.

Dip one half of each cookie in the chocolate by tilting the bowl. Sprinkle with crushed candy canes or peppermint and repeat for each cookie.
