One Giant Paleo Chocolate Chip Protein Cookie for an easy, quick grain-free treat that is ready in under 15 minutes.
I would say 5 out of 7 nights a week I want a cookie after dinner.
But here’s the problem, I don’t want to make a dozen cookies all the time and I don’t always want the same type of cookie each night. AKA we would have too many cookies accumulating over the week ya feel?
So here’s how we solve the problem. We make one GIANT cookie that hits the spot, is made with good ingredients and it so easy to make you can whip it up right after dinner no problem.
I present to you my One Giant Paleo Chocolate Chip Protein Cookie. The cookie for one, or two if you are into sharing 😉 It is made with coconut flour, egg, coconut oil and it even has collagen peptides in it.
You babes are always asking/inquiring about collagen peptides and I don’t blame you. It is everywhere on social media right now. I have been using Vital Proteins collagen peptides for over a year already and I have to say, I am still obsessed with adding collagen peptides to my diet.
It has helped tremendously with my hair skin and nails. It supports joint health, digestion and it adds protein to whatever you choose to add it to. You can use it in so many recipes (just see here) or you can add it to hot tea, coffee or water. It is so easy to get your daily collagen fix. Especially with Vital Protein’s packets.
I love adding to this giant cookie so I am getting extra protein while I eat dessert too. You don’t even taste it 🙂
WHAT YOU NEED
Coconut flour

Great idea for a one serving cookie!! {I’m not into sharing my desserts :)P } There are so many ways we could spin this recipe to make different kinds of cookies like oatmeal, peanut butter, snickerdoodle, ETC! The possibilities are endless!
Thanks, Rach!

Definitely making this tonight! I can’t promise I’ll be sharing with anyone though ; )
Can extra almond flour be substituted for collagen peptides for those of us sensitive to beef? If so, how much should be used?
I don’t agree with calories counting, but this has 600 calories!!!! Boy oh boy!! Taste’s amazing though (:

Love the look of this for my daughter to take to school, where dessert is standard for most kids to get! I can’t seem to see how much coconut oil we are supposed to add in though… am I missing it somewhere? Thank you!
