Protein Pleasure Cookie - Chocolate Chip

DRY INGREDIENTS 

• 1⅓ cups TH Baking Blend 

• ½ cup TH Erythritol (OR ½ cup TH Gentle Sweet and omit the stevia) 

• ½ cup TH Integral Collagen 

• ¼ cup TH Just Gelatin 

• 1 Tbs sunflower lecithin (optional) [I have made it both with and without this with good results]

• ½ tsp baking soda 

• ½ tsp TH Mineral Salt 

• ⅛ tsp TH Pure Stevia Extract (omit if using TH Gentle Sweet) 

WET INGREDIENTS 

• 3 eggs 

• ½ cup coconut oil or butter, softened 

• 1 tsp TH Natural Burst Caramel Extract [instead of this, I use a little blackstrap molasses and some extra vanilla extract]

• 1 tsp TH Natural Burst Vanilla Extract 

ADD-INS 

• ½ cup plan approved chocolate chips [a favorite variation is about a half cup of choc zero butterscotch chips and a cup of choc zero white chocolate chips - I have also used Lily's]

• I also add about 1/3 cup of chopped pecans

DIRECTIONS 

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 

2. Mix dry ingredients in a medium bowl. 

3. Mix wet ingredients in a small bowl. 

4. Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients. 

5. Hand mix add-ins (fold in carefully). 

6. Let stand for 3 minutes. 

7. Form cookies and place them about 2 inches apart onto parchment-lined baking sheets or spray pans with coconut oil spray. 

        **To make huge cookies that have 15g of protein each, use 3-4 Tbs of dough per cookie. This will yield 10 cookies. 

        **To make regular sized cookies, use 1-2 Tbs of dough per cookie. This will yield 20-24 cookies. 

8. Slightly flatten dough with your hand and bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. 

9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack.
