Protein Sugar Cookie

On this night my boyfriend and I were feeling like something soft and sweet but I still needed more protein to hit my protein goal for the day. I decided to try out a soft protein cookie.

Ingredients

Cookie:

• 1/2 cup gluten free baking powder

• 1/4 cup powdered sugar

• 1 scoop Vanilla Ice Cream Protein Powder (code VONNY)

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 2 tbsp flaxmeal

• 1/4 cup soy milk

• 2 tbsp vegan butter, softened

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Icing:

• 1/4 cup vegan yogurt

• 1 tsp vegan sugar free jello

• 2 tbsp powdered sugar

1. In a large bowl combine the dry ingredients; flour, sugar, protein powder, baking powder, and baking soda; and whisk together.

2. In a small bowl or cup add the flaxmeal and 1/4 cup of water and let sit for 5 minutes.

3. Add the vegan butter, soy milk, vanilla extract and flax mixture into the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to mix this until. evenly combined

4. Form the dough into 4 large or 8 small cookies and put on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
