Instructions
- First thing you need to do is pre-heat the oven to 375F.
- In a pot, boil water on the stove.
- Before adding the sweet potatoes to the recipe, you need to boil them to soften them up. To speed up the boiling process, chop up the sweet potatoes first.
- Add the chopped sweet potatoes to the pot, then boil for 8-10 minutes, until soft. Once the sweet potatoes is soft enough to be easily poked with a fork, it's finished boiling.
- Once the sweet potatoes are ready, remove the water, then add them to a large mixing bowl.
- Take a fork and mash the sweet potatoes together. Once the sweet potatoes are mashed up, add in a 1/2 cup of almond butter, one whole egg, then mix it all together.
- Once it's mixed together, add 1 tbsp of honey, then mix the batter again.
- Next up, add 1 serving of egg white or whey protein powder to the bowl, along with a dash of cinnamon, a dash of Himalayan pink sea salt, and finally a 1/4 tsp of vanilla extract for flavor. Mix it up one more time.
- The last step is to add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to the batter. Give the batter a few gentle stirs to allow the chocolate chips to start melting. This will also help spread out the flavor of the chocolate chips to give each cookie a nice chocolate taste.
- To make each chocolate chip protein cookie, add a decent sized tablespoon of the cookie batter mixture to a baking sheet, topped with parchment paper.
- After adding 9 cookies to the baking sheet, we still had approximately enough batter left to make another 5 cookies. Depending on the size of your baking sheet, you may need to bake these cookies in batches.
- Add the baking sheet to the pre-heated oven at 375F, then set your timer for 10 minutes. However, make sure you keep an eye on the cookies, because they will bake quickly.
- After 10 minutes is up, they should be good to go. Remove the cookies from the oven, and let them cool down for a few minutes. Add the remaining cookie batter to the baking sheet, and bake the rest of the cookies the same way.
- Once the cookies are cooled down, take a bite to see how they taste.
- Yell, "damn that's good!".
