Double Chocolate Chip Protein Cookies
No need to buy expensive protein cookies anymore, these Double Chocolate Chip Protein Cookies are all you need!

These protein cookies are soft and chewy and packed with protein! Also, they only require only a few ingredients and are paleo and vegan!

To make these Double Chocolate Chip Protein Cookies, you’ll just need 7 main ingredients and a few simple steps!

* Possible substitutes listed below. NOTE: I have not personally tried any of these substitutes for this recipe, however I believe they could work.
- if you don’t have tahini or it isn’t your favorite, you could substitute any nut or seed butter!
- you should be able to substitute any whey or pea protein powder in these, however you may have to tweak the amount
- to make these truly vegan/paleo, use dairy free or paleo chocolate chips
