Low-Carb Protein Cookie

Today I would like to share with you a recipe of one of my favorite cookies. I consider it somewhat healthy, because it doesn’t contain flour and white sugar, instead it has good proteins like eggs and peanut butter. Plus, you don’t have to make a special trip to the store to get all the ingredients, they are already in your pantry.

One cookie has approximately 85 calories, 9 g carbohydrate, and 3 g protein.

Low-carb Protein Cookie

1 cup creamy peanut butter

¾ cup brown sugar

1 egg

1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

½ tsp ground cinnamon

¼ tsp ground ginger

½ tsp sea salt

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine all the ingredients: peanut butter, brown sugar, egg, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and ginger.
2. Stir until well blended.
3. Shape dough into 24 (1-inch) balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheets.
4. Flatten balls with fork.
5. Sprinkle every cookie with sea salt.
6. Bake 10-12 min until cookies are firm and lightly browned. Cool on cookie sheets 5 min.

Enjoy…
