Who doesn't love raw chocolate chip cookie dough! I think I almost like it better than the cookies. These little gluten free treats are full or protein and can be made with or without the chocolate coating. This recipe was created for raw dough in mind, it is not an actual cookie recipe of mine. I do not know if these will turn out if you choose to cook them. They do not have baking soda in them so they may be a bit flat, but still good I imagine!
I added vanilla egg white protein to these just like I did with the Peanut Butter Protein Balls. It is an option, but adds additional protein to this treat and you would never know it's in there! I am going to be experimenting with plain egg white protein in the next couple months. I think it's a great way to get some additional protein in recipes without knowing it's there! It's like cooking with egg whites so it should be an easy adjustment in recipes for me. If you haven't yet, try some of the recipes I have already created with the added protein. Grain Free Thin Pancakes, Peanut Butter Protein Balls, Grain Free Almond Nut Joy Granola and Grain Free Banana Nut Granola.
