Chocolate Protein Heart Cookies (3g of protein, gluten-free, egg-free)

Servings 22 cookies
Prep Time 12 minutes
Cook Time 8 minutes
Chilling Time 30 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (125g) oat flour
  • 2 scoops (50g) chocolate whey protein powder
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp (90g) butter softened
  • 2 tbsp (42g) honey
  • 6 tbsp (60g) dark chocolate melted

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl and use a rubber spatula to mix the dough. Use your hand to ensure the ingredients are well combined and the firm dough is formed.
  • Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 30 minutes. If you let the dough chill for more maybe overnight, you’ll need to let it warm up and get soft enough to be rolled out.

For baked cookies:

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F degrees. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the dough ball on the counter. Roll out the dough to about 1/3 inch thickness. Cut hearts and place them on a prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake the heart cookies for about 8-9 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.

For no-bake cookies:

  • Place the dough ball on the counter. Roll out the dough to about 1/3 inch thickness. Cut hearts and place them on a plate or in a plastic box, in which you will store them in a refrigerator. Use a piece of parchment paper to separate the cookies when placed on top of each other.
