Transfer cookies to cooling rack and Enjoy!
I love these because they are loaded with protein and fiber and make a perfect breakfast cookie. I also love that there is not added sugar or flour in this recipe.
Update: I made these a second time and included 2 Tbsp flax seeds and 2 Tbsp Splenda. They were so tasty, so I definitely recommend making these changes.
