Chocolate Cashew Protein Cookies (Vegan)

The combination of nut butter and plant-based protein makes for great vegan protein cookies! These vegan chocolate cookies have a cashew butter base with a yummy chocolate pea protein blend. And they're super easy to make!

This chocolate protein powder has a very fine texture, and I love how it bakes!

I also added some stevia powder to sweeten them up a bit. Without a sticky ingredient like whey or agave, and without a binding ingredient like an egg, these cookies are a bit fragile. If you don't need them to be vegan, you might want to sub out some of the water for an egg or a couple of egg whites. A flax egg might help, too. But I don't mind them being delicate. Hearts are supposed to be delicate, aren't they?

Notes

A note about substitutions: because each type of protein powder bakes differently, I would only recommend substituting rice protein (or a pea/rice blend).
