Chocolate Covered Red Velvet Protein Cookies
makes 6 cookies
Ingredients
Filling
- ½ cup plant based chocolate protein powder
- 2 Tbsp coconut flour
- 1 Tbsp cocoa powder
- ¼ cup powdered monkfruit sweetener or regular powdered sugar
- ¼ cup cream cheese
- 1 tsp no-taste red coloring gel
Coating
- ⅓ cup melted chocolate
Instructions
- Mix together all the filling ingredients - I find that it’s best to use my hands to mix the dough because it takes some kneading and pressing to get the dough to come together.
- If you want a more creamy protein cookie, add more cream cheese. You may also need more sugar if you're working with unflavored protein powder.
- Flatten into desired thickness, and use a ¼ c measuring cup or a round cookie cutter to cut out the filling into rounds. For the best result, or if the filling is too soft, refrigerate the dough before cutting.
- Refrigerate or freeze the filling rounds for 30-40 minutes until solid. This helps the dipping into the chocolate step easier.
- Coat in melted chocolate, and let it set.
- Enjoy!
