This ready-to-eatย proteinย cookie dough is a cheat food I have eaten several times rather than going out and cheating on my lifestyle. Note: I donโt use the four-letter โDโ wordโdiet! This is cheat food, which is not entirely cheat food, so you donโt have to feel too guilty after eating it. Well, I’m not as guilty as indulging in a slice of pecan pie anyway.
A few people have asked me if you can make cookies from thisย proteinย cookie dough. My answer would be not entirely. Our recipe contains no eggs or baking powder, so you must add other ingredients. This cookie dough is designed to be eaten raw or added to another dish as a topping. It would be yummy on top of aย proteinย cheesecake or make a much more interesting rice cake!
As a bona fide lover of cookie dough (one of my favorite foods on Godโs green earth), I find any cookie dough hard-pressed to turn into a cookie in my house. Once, it took me about a week and a half to ingest an entire 5-pound tub of cookie doughโnot one cookie was ever made from it! As you have probably already deduced, this is a favorite recipe of mine. It contains no actual sugar, but the texture is similar. Make sure you have a glass of milk (or almond milk) ready for this one.
Put the dry ingredients (not the chips) in a medium-large bowl with the peanut butter. If you use almond flour, use less almond milk because it is less absorbent than coconut flour. If you use coconut flour, you will need more almond milk. Mix it all, slowly adding the almond milk a little bit at a time until you have cookie dough consistency. Theย proteinย cookie dough will be somewhat dry but without a powdery texture. Add to serving dishes and top with chocolate chips!
