Notes

Use a runny nut butter so that it blends easily. The old jar of peanut butter that’s hard at the bottom won’t create delicious cookies.
Let them sit to cool for as long as you can hold off. This is where they finish cooking.
The protein powder you choose makes a huge difference to the texture and taste of the 3 ingredient protein cookies. I used Botanica Protein Powder originally but have since switched to beef protein powder which can be used in the same amount.
 
Change the flavor by using a different nut butter or protein powder flavor.
