Equipment

Mixing Bowl
Spatula

Ingredients

1 cup Nut Butter (Almond, Peanut, or Cashew) room temperature
1 cup Alternative Flour (Coconut or Almond Flour) finely ground
1/4 cup Natural Sweetener (Honey, Agave, or Maple Syrup) room temperature
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1/2 cup Chopped Nuts (Walnuts, Pecans, or Almonds) optional, toasted and roughly chopped
1/4 cup Mini Dark Chocolate Chips optional, chilled

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine the nut butter, alternative flour, natural sweetener, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Use a sturdy spatula or a hand mixer on low for a smoother finish.
If the mixture is too dry, add a tablespoon of almond milk or water until the desired consistency is reached. Add one tablespoon at a time — you want thick, spoonable dough, not a batter.
Fold in any optional add-ins like chopped nuts or chocolate chips. Stir gently so chips and nuts distribute evenly without melting.
Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding a teaspoon more maple syrup or honey. For extra depth, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt and fold it in gently.
Store the protein cookie dough in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.

Notes
