Finally! My first recipe here on Fatherhood: Reloaded, and they’re my Ultimate Protein Cookies! I’m going to be honest, upfront; I hate these websites that will give you a recipe, but you have to scroll down through a dissertation to get to the actual recipe!
I do not plan on doing that here. The way I see it, if you come here searching for a recipe, you’re looking for the recipe, not my long-winded story about how I came across a mystical notecard with an amazing and undiscovered recipe written in pencil faded handwriting. Not going to happen! (I admit this first recipe may be a little more heavy-handed than the rest).
My intentions have been to start posting recipes on here for a while. I have a ton of recipes as my wife and I both love playing in the kitchen! We’ve previously cooked fairly strict keto and came up with some awesome meals in the past. We’re now off the keto train with the baby on the way, and while we don’t eat as strictly as we once did, we do keep healthy. (With a few cheats here and there.)
These protein cookies actually started out as a snack back when we were on keto. The coconut flour, Truvia brown sugar, and sugar-free chocolate chips still call back to those days, and while these aren’t carb-heavy cookies, I don’t feel like they’re exactly as keto-friendly as they could be now. I consider this recipe as a “base recipe”. I’ve not included a nutrition breakdown as there are elements you can change for your own preferences. The most flexible is the choice of whey protein. I started off using Bowmar Nutrition Protein Frosted Cookie, but after the flavor changed, I’ve moved on to others. The texture of the cookies remains fairly consistent despite brand changes. Plus, it’s fun being able to mix the flavors of the cookies up.
Note: the cookies used in the photos are made with Pro Jym Ultra-Premium S’Mores Protein Powder per my wife’s request.
Enough of my rambling, I’ll let the cookies speak for themselves.
