Vanilla Bean Protein Sugar Cookies

About This Recipe

Melt in your mouth sugar cookies made with protein powder, vanilla bean paste, light butter, and a granulated sugar substitute.

Ingredients

• 2 scoops (62g Vanilla Protein Powder*)
• 1/2 C 60g All Purpose Flour
• 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
• 1 tsp Vanilla Bean Paste (or vanilla extract)
• 1/2 C 96g Swerve Granular*
• 1/2 C 112g Light Butter*

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cream the butter and Swerve in a food processor or stand mixer before adding the protein powder, flour, baking powder, and vanilla bean paste.
3. Continue mixing until a ball of dough forms. (I used 6 pulses in the food processor.)
4. Divide the dough into 8 42-gram pieces. Roll each piece between your palms into a smooth ball before pressing flat into cookie shapes. (You can spray your hands with a bit of cooking spray to prevent sticking.)
5. Sprinkle a pinch of granulated sugar substitute over the cookies before baking for 6-8 minutes. The cookies should be soft in the center and slightly crisp around the edges.
