Dark Chocolate Protein Cookies

 This morning, I decided to stalk Anna’s blog for some baking inspiration. Most of my protein cookies have been fails, and I wanted to step up my game. So after reading through some of her recipes and tips, these Dark Chocolate Protein Cookies were born! They taste surprisingly rich – and aren’t rubbery like most protein cookies.  Perfect midday or pre-workout snack!

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. Beat egg. Combine egg with all remaining ingredients (I mixed it in a large bowl).
3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop cookie batter by the tablespoon onto the paper. Flatten the tops slightly with the back of a spoon for a better shape (don’t get too crazy- the batter is sticky!).
4. Bake 10 minutes or until done.
