Notes
- Use a creamy, all natural peanut butter made with only peanuts and salt.
- Peanut butters made with added oils and sugars will alter the texture of these cookies.
- Any creamy nut butter can be used.
- The cookies will have a slight protein powder taste so use your favorite protein powder.
- I used Nuzest vanilla plant based protein.
- Store leftover cookies covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Freeze for up to 1 month if desired.
