Carrot Cake Collagen Cookies (Gluten-free)
Description
The Carrot Cake Collagen Cookies blend gluten-free baking flour with grated carrot and collagen powder, seasoned with cinnamon, nutmeg, and baking powder for rise and spice. Egg, honey, avocado oil, and dairy-free milk bind the dough into a thick consistency scooped into portions and baked at a moderate temperature. The baking process yields soft cookies that become firmer and develop slight crunch after a day, influenced by the collagen content.
These cookies are best cooled completely before frosting to prevent the topping from melting or running. The dairy-free cream cheese frosting adds a complementary tang and creaminess resembling traditional carrot cake flavors. The cookies firm up further once chilled, so warming them slightly before frosting can improve texture.
This recipe requires both specified amounts of gluten-free flour for optimal texture; substitutions like protein powder for collagen are not recommended as they alter the consistency. Prepared cookies keep well refrigerated and are suitable for those seeking gluten-free options with added collagen.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup gluten-free baking flour
- 1.5 tbs gluten-free baking flour
- ⅓ cup carrot very finely grated
- ¼ cup collagen powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 egg
- ⅓ cup honey
- 1 tbs avocado oil
- 1.5 tbs dairy-free milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahreheit.
- Mix all the dry ingredients into one bowl.
- One by one, add in the wet ingredients and mix until thick and combined.
- Stir in the shredded carrot.
- Use a small trigger ice cream scoop to portion the protein cookies onto a baking sheet.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool fully before frosting.
Notes
- Use both the ¾ cup and 1 tablespoon gluten-free flour amounts to achieve the best cookie texture.
- Fully cool cookies before applying dairy-free cream cheese frosting to prevent it from running.
- Frost the cookies on the day of serving for optimal appearance and taste.
- Cookies firm up in the fridge; warm slightly before frosting if prepared ahead of time.
- Do not substitute collagen powder with protein powder as it affects texture negatively.
