Pro Tip

Be sure not to over-bake these cookies. Over-baking whey protein can cause the cookies to be dry and rubbery, so it is important to take the cookies out of the oven as soon as they are firm.

The recipe is simple, and the cookies have great flavor and texture. Give these coconut protein cookies a try!

And if you enjoy this recipe, you'll love our creamy coconut protein shake. YUM!
