For the longest time I have wanted to master protein cookies. I am not sure if I have completely mastered them yet, but these confetti cake protein cookies are definitely my best cookies so far. Sometimes protein cookies can come out too dry, but definitely not these!

The secret ingredient is garbanzo beans. Yep, beans in a cookie. Don’t knock it until you try it. Using beans really helps pack the cookies with protein and fiber. It also helps give the cookies a moist cake texture.

I was searching cookies on Pinterest, and of all the wonderful cookie flavors, confetti cake really caught my eye, and of course my sweet tooth. I love cake and cookies, so I couldn’t go wrong with confetti cake cookies.

I guess I figured correctly, because these cookies are awesome. I had two last night, and I  could have easily eaten the whole batch. The best part was that each cookie had 8 grams of protein thanks to the MusclePharm vanilla combat powder I used.

The cookies turned out moist and just like the texture of cake. I only baked them for about 8 or 9 minutes and left them a little under done. Once they cooled a little bit and set, the texture was amazing. The combat powder was perfect because it is a blend of proteins and didn’t dry out like normal whey protein would when baking!
