The Play-by-Play

1. Set your oven’s mood to 350°F (or 175°C for my metric folks).
2. Let’s dance! Get a bowl and playfully whisk together the almond flour, protein powder, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. This is your base groove.
3. Next up, in another bowl, have a jam session with the molasses, coconut oil, egg, and vanilla extract.
4. Now, the collab. Ease the molasses mix into the flour mix. Stir it up until you’ve got a lovely dough jamming out.
5. Shape this mix into balls, then press ’em down – cookie style.
6. Lay them out on a baking sheet, giving each cookie its own space. They need to breathe, after all!
7. Into the oven they go for a 10-12 minute set. When they’ve got that golden edge, you’re golden.
8. Once their performance is over, let these starlets cool for a bit, say 5 minutes, before they move to the after-party on a cooling rack.

Pro Tips From My Kitchen to Yours

1. For a bonus protein surprise, toss in some chia or hemp seeds before baking.
2. Got leftovers? (Yeah right!) But if you do, keep them air-tight and they’ll jam for up to a week.
3. Dough got stage fright? Chill it for 10-15 mins. It’ll be back!

Serving Ideas

• Dip or dunk? Almond milk or green tea makes for perfect partners.
• Dessert time? Combine with a fruit salad for a jazzy twist.
