How to Make High Protein Cookies

Add the wet to the dry ingredients and stir to combine. The consistency of your dough will depend on the protein powder and natural peanut butter you use. If needed, add an additional 1-2 Tablespoons of applesauce to moisten the dough. Form the dough into one inch balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
