Healthy Protein Cookie Dough
This edible protein cookie dough tastes just like the classic treat but is much better for you.
recipesbynani.comWhen you have a serious sweet tooth but want to keep things healthy, this protein cookie dough is the perfect solution. It is thick, creamy, and satisfying without any of the raw flour or eggs found in traditional doughs.
My favorite thing about this recipe is how fast it comes together. You can whip it up in just a few minutes whenever the craving hits, and you can add your favorite mix ins like dark chocolate chips or nuts to make it your own.
