- One by one add in the eggs, molasses, peanut butter, maple syrup, and dairy-free milk.
- Mix until sticky. Add in the pecans and mix again.
- On a cookie sheet, use a trigger ice cream scoop to portion the pregnancy cookie batter out on a line baking sheet. Press a pecan into the top of each cookie if you like.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes and remove from the oven to cool fully on the pan.

Notes
- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or you'll have trouble getting them off.
- Let the protein cookies cool fully before taking them off the cookie sheet as they come out extremely delicate.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container on the countertop for 1-2 days or in the fridge for 4-6 days.
- I used a 1.5-inch trigger point ice cream scoop for the cookies. If using a different size, you may need to adjust the cooking times.
- Chocolate chips are a great add in in place of pecans. Likewise, almond butter works in place of peanut butter.
