Recipe makes approximately 8-10 cookies

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon ground flax (or chia seeds)
• ½ cup peanut butter
• ⅓ cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ cup Näak chocolate protein powder
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ cup vegan chocolate chips

Instructions

• In a small bowl, mix the ground flax with 3 tablespoons of water. Let sit for 15 minutes
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
• In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, coconut sugar, salt, flax mixture, and vanilla extract until everything is evenly incorporated
• Add the baking soda, protein powder, and cocoa powder gradually while mixing the batter until well combined
• Fold in the chocolate chips
• At this point, the batter should be slightly sticky but not too mushy. If the batter is too wet, add a little more protein powder. If the batter is too stiff, add a splash of plant-based milk
• Scoop out about 2 tablespoon of the batter, roll into a ball, place on the prepared baking sheet, and flatten the ball with a fork
• Repeat the above step with the remaining dough
• Bake for 6-8 minutes or until the edges get hard
• Let cool and enjoy!
