Chai Spiced Protein Snickerdoodles


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup almond butter
  • 1/2 cup Vital Proteins Vanilla Collagen Whey Protein Powder
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 egg, large
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ cup coconut sugar

Chai Spice Mix:

  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 3 teaspoons ground ginger

Instructions

  1. First, preheat oven to 350ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl combine all chai spices and set aside.
  3. In a medium-size bowl, place almond butter, protein powder, ⅓ cup coconut sugar, egg, salt, baking soda and 1 teaspoon of the chai spices. Depending on the thickness of your almond butter, you may need to add a few more tablespoons of protein powder or add in some water. You want the consistency to be easy to roll into a ball that sticks together.
  4. Add ½ cup of coconut sugar to the remaining chai mix and stir to combine.
  5. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough into your hand and roll into a ball. Drop the ball in the spice/sugar mix and toss to coat. Place onto your cookie sheet and press down into a cookie shape. Repeat with remaining dough.
  6. Bake at 350ºF for 10-12 minutes or until the edges begin to turn golden brown.
  7. Let cool for 10-15 minutes so that the cookies can firm up a bit.
