An easy and light guilt-free holiday cookie that will help you get through those holiday cravings! And when we’re not in holiday season, just choose your new shape (maybe a star?) and continue baking!

Prep Time: 4 minutes

Ingredients: 7 items

Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups Almond Flour
• 1/2 cup BioSteel Vanilla Whey Protein Isolate or Plant-Based Protein Powder
• 3 tbsp Coconut Sugar
• 1 tsp Baking Powder
• 1 tsp Cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
• 2 tbsp Fancy Molasses
• 1 tbsp Maple Syrup
• 1 Egg
• 1/4 cup Tapioca Flour (or any type of flour, for dusting)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Combine almond flour, protein powder, coconut sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the molasses, syrup and egg.

3. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

4. Generously dust a flat surface, a rolling pin and cookie cutter with tapioca flour. Roll out the dough and cut out shapes.

5. Bake for 8-10 min. Let cool completely before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

1. No Cookie Cutter?: Use the rim of a mason jar to cut out circles. Or roll into balls and press down flat with the palm of your hand.
2. Protein Powder: This recipe was developed and tested using a whey-based protein powder. If using a different type of protein, results may vary.
