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.
Ingredient Notes
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.
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!
