This is a super easy recipe for delicious no-bake cookies with only 2 grams of net carbs each. These hemp protein cookies have a great snap to them, too, unlike most protein cookies.
They are made with chocolate hemp protein and unflavored whey isolate. I usually don't use whey isolate in cookies (it doesn't bake well) but since these are no-bake cookies, it works perfectly.

Ingredients
- chocolate hemp protein - I would not sub another kind of protein for this
- unflavored whey isolate - whey concentrate should work fine too
- cacao powder - or cocoa powder
- coconut oil - use refined for less of a coconut taste
- liquid chocolate stevia - other sweeteners should work well too
- alcohol-free peppermint flavor - optional, and I like alcohol-free flavors for no-bake recipes.
The recipe card below has the amounts and all recipe details.
Equipment
I used this #70 scoop to portion the cookies, and I suggest parchment paper to line the cookie sheet.
Instructions
You're going to mix the dry ingredients in one bowl, and the wet ingredients in another.
Mix them together, portion into 10 pieces, and flatten them into cookies on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Put the cookie sheet in the freezer for 10 minutes, and enjoy your delicious protein cookies!
Substitutions
I wouldn't try substituting different types of protein; stick to hemp and whey. Different protein powders have different textures, and the cookies would not turn out the same way with different protein powders. For more info on this, see my article The Best Protein Powders for Baking.
Variations
If chocolate mint is not your thing, omit the peppermint flavor and go all chocolate. Or add hazelnut stevia for Nutella vibes, or caramel stevia for a sweeter treat!
Storage
🥶 Store these hemp cookies in the refrigerator to keep them crisp.
