PREP TIME: 35 minutes

SERVINGS: 12 cookies

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup blanched almond flour Bob's Red Mill Almond Flour, Resealable Stand up Bag, 32 OZ

• 1 scoop Nuzest vanilla clean lean protein powder

• 1/4 cup sugar — I used regular cane sugar but you could also use honey, maple syrup, etc.

• 1/4 cup cup melted ghee

• 1-2 tbsp water (might not need this if you use liquid sweetener)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS

• Mix sugar and melted ghee first

• Let the mix sit in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes

• Roll dough into balls and form cookie shape by lightly pressing dough

• Once cookies cooled, I frosted them using Simple Mills vanilla frosting, mixed with 1 tsp Suncore Foods (code PEACEGFCAKE15 for 15% off) blue spirulina — try any of their supercolor powders for a natural alternative to food dyes or try my Homemade Rainbow Sprinkles (allergy friendly)
