DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHIP PECAN PROTEIN COOKIES.

These rich and utterly scrumptious high protein cookies will totally satisfy those chocolate cravings and leave your mouth watering for more! I’m back (again) bringing you another delicious recipe because who doesn’t love seeing double chocolate chip cookies first thing in the morning?!

These cookies are almost cake like because of their soft moist texture that melts in your mouth. Trust me when I say you’ll have the children and adults coming back for more! I added Free Soul to pack in that protein as well as chunky chocolate chips for gooeyness. With no added sugar, you can indulge and feel incredibly good about it. As you should.

This recipe requires a few more ingredients in comparison to my ‘Feel Good Flapjacks‘ but still uses cupboard staples. If you don’t have desiccated coconut, please don’t worry! You can omit this or substitue it for ground almonds. These can also be made vegan by using a mashed banana and cacao powder instead of an egg and hot chocolate powder. I’m really hoping these can be tasty treats for everyone!
