Strawberry Shortcake Protein Cookies

About This Recipe

A cookie/shortbread made from casein protein powder and coconut flour and topped with fresh strawberries and a Greek yogurt whipped cream mixture.

Ingredients

• ¼ cup coconut flour
• 2 Tbsp coconut oil
• 1 scoop vanilla casein protein powder
• ½ tsp vanilla
• ½ tsp baking soda
• 1 ½ tsp stevia
• 1 egg
• 7 tbsp plain non fat Greek yogurt (¼ cup + 3 tbsp)
• 1/3 scoop vanilla whey protein powder
• ½ tsp stevia powder
• ½ tsp vanilla
• 14 tbsp fat free whipped cream (¾ cup + 2 tbsp)
• 5 strawberries

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Mix the dry cookie ingredients together until incorporated. Mix the wet ingredients separately (melt the oil first).
3. Combine dry and wet and mix thoroughly.
4. Split the dough into 12 balls and place on a oiled baking sheet. Press into cookie form. (Note: You’ll see in the picture the cookies are in mini muffin shape. I pressed the dough into a mini muffin tin to create wells to hold the filling. It was way too much work do to this so just make regular cookies.)
5. Bake 7-8 minutes.
6. For the filling mix everything but the whipped cream in a bowl and mix vigorously. When all of the protein has incorporated, add the whipped cream and fold in gently.
7. Cut the strawberries into small pieces.
8. Top each cookie with the filling and strawberries once cooled.
