You want to know the best thing about cookies? Eating the cookie dough before you bake them. I know they say you shouldn’t do it, but dang it is delicious. So, since we all know I’m going to eat the cookie dough anyway, I decided to make this Healthy Protein Cookie Dough that you can eat by the spoon and not feel guilty!
Protein Cookie Dough = Happiness
For this one, as you can see below, I did a recipe video. I have had a lot of fun playing around with doing the overhead recipe videos. Slowly but surely I am getting better at making them, and editing them.

Super easy protein cookie dough recipe
As you can see in the recipe video, it is one of those recipes that you just add everything to a food processor and let it do all the work for you. You can see that I add the coconut flour and collagen in increments, this helps to get a better dough consistency and not gum up the food processor before it gets all combined. The coconut flour makes it quite thick, and a delicious texture just like cookie dough!
Collagen Cookie Dough
Yep, you heard that right. I used collagen in this recipe to give it added protein, and all the other amazing benefits of collagen. I used an unflavored collagen from MTN Ops, and you couldn’t even tell it was in there. You could also use a vanilla collagen if that is what you have.
Substitutions
If you don’t have collagen, you could try using a vanilla whey protein powder. I am not sure how the consistency would turn out compared to using collagen. You may need to add more/less liquid to get a good cookie dough texture. If you try using whey, let me know how it turns out!
And, then for the peanut butter, I used my favorite Fokken Nuts creamy peanut butter. This is hands down my new favorite peanut butter. You could even get crazy in this recipe and use their cookie dough peanut butter or monster cookie peanut butter! That would be next level.
