Ingredients
Cookie Dough
Frosting
Steps
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180 °C) (175°C (350 °F)) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 scoop protein powder, 1/3 cup sweetener, 1/2 tbsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt.
Add 1 whole egg, 1/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp melted light butter, 1 tsp vanilla extract, a tiny bit of almond extract, and a tiny splash (about 1 tsp) of almond milk to the dry ingredients.
Mix everything together until thoroughly combined. The batter may take a moment to come together, but continue mixing until smooth. If desired, fold in some sprinkles.
Using an ice cream scooper to avoid sticking, scoop the dough into 6 even portions onto the prepared cookie sheet.
Wet your hands with water and gently flatten each cookie scoop into a disk shape.
Bake at 350°F (180 °C) for 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely before frosting.
While the cookies cool, prepare the frosting by mixing 1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp zero sugar Cool Whip, 1/4 scoop protein powder, 1/2 tbsp sugar-free vanilla pudding mix, 1 tsp sweetener, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl until smooth and thick.
Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cookies.
Top each cookie with a few Lucky Charms marshmallows and serve.
Notes
The author suggests using an ice cream scooper to handle the dough as it can be sticky. Wetting your hands is essential for flattening the cookies without them sticking to your skin.
