Here is the recipe for this healthy treat
Grain Free Protein Shortbread Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup blanched almond flour
Bob's Red Mill Almond Flour, Resealable Stand up Bag, 32 OZ - 1 scoop Nuzest vanilla clean lean protein powder
- 1/4 cup sugar – I used regular cane sugar but you could also use honey, maple syrup, etc.
- 1/4 cup cup melted ghee
- 1-2 tbsp water (might not need this if you use liquid sweetener)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- mix sugar and melted ghee first
- mix the rest of the ingredients until it forms a dough
- let the mix sit in the refrigerator for 30 min-hour
- roll dough into balls and form cookie shape by lightly pressing dough
- bake for 15 minutes at 350F
- once cookies cooled, I frosted them using Simple Mills vanilla frosting, mixed with 1 tsp Suncore Foods (code PEACEGFCAKE15 for 15% off) blue spirulina – try any of their supercolor powders for a natural alternative to food dyes or try the Homemade Rainbow Sprinkles (allergy friendly!)
Do you have nutrition info for this recipe? Many thanks
Hi! Sorry for the late response! Here are the stats I pulled from a nutrition calculator (this is without frosting or sprinkles) I calculated about 24 cookies. So it will depend on how many you make and the size
Looks like a yummy treat! I like the idea. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
