I am still on my quest to find the perfect protein cookie recipe. I have conquered pancakes, waffles, cupcakes, and almost every other thing you can think of, except for cookies. I can’t say that I have completely mastered the protein cookie, but these came cinnamon coconut protein cookies came pretty darn close.

As always, I wasn’t really sure exactly what I wanted to make. I thought about peanut butter cookies but then decided to change it up a little and try something different. I’m not really sure how, but I ended up on the flavor combination of cinnamon and coconut. I love cinnamon, and I love coconut, so why not try them together?

The flavors worked out pretty well because I had my cinnamon bun combat powder to use. I’m couldn’t think of any better protein to use in this recipe. For the coconut flavor, I added some shredded coconut and coconut extract to the cookies and then drizzled them with some vanilla cupcake coconut butter. 

The hard part about trying to make protein cookies is getting the texture right. They can dry out super quickly because of the protein powder. These cookies only took 4-5 minutes to cook. They might seem a little gooey or under cooked, but trust me the will harden up. If you cook them until they feel completely done, they will get very dry because they keep cooking a little even after you take them out of the oven.
