These beef protein powder cookies are soft, chewy, and anything but chalky. Made with almond flour and finished with chocolate for the perfect high-protein treat.
Separate the coconut oil into 1 tablespoon and ½ tablespoon. Melt 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in the microwave or over the stove on low.
In a small bowl, mix together the almond flour, protein powder, coconut oil, and nut butter until it sticks together. It'll be tacky.
Use a trigger ice cream scoop to portion the batter onto a lined baking tray.
Use a sheet of parchment paper on top to press the cookies flat (about ⅛th of an inch thick and form them into circles. Pop them in the freezer.
In a small bowl, melt the ½ tablespoon of coconut oil and chocolate chips in a small bowl over low heat. Mix until smooth.
Once melted, “paint” the top of the cookies with chocolate using a silicone spatula, and re-chill for 10 minutes.
Keep the chocolate warm and when ready, flip the cookies (the chocolate should have hardened) and paint the other side, trying to cover it all. Re-freeze to set.

Notes
You need the cookie batter to be sticky enough that it holds together but not excessively tacky. Add 1 teaspoon of water to the batter as needed. If you’re not using Equip Protein you may not need this.Don’t flip them until the chocolate is fully hardened as otherwise it’s a mess.There’s no sweetener in these protein cookies outside of the protein and chocolate chips. So, if you don’t love your protein powder, you’ll need to add some honey or maple syrup.The kind of protein you choose will make a difference to the taste and texture of the cookies. They taste best when made with Equip Protein Powder. Not only is there protein really well flavored, but it’s one of the highest quality ones I’ve found too, and they do a ton of third party testing. If you’re new to beef protein, try it with code mamabear to save some money.
