These easy coconut protein cookies make a great on-the-go protein snack or breakfast cookie. Made with protein powder and coconut flour, they are naturally gluten free.
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!
