This small batch recipe yields about 8 to 10 soft cookies…for breakfast!
Cookies for breakfast? Oh yes. I’ve been know to start my day with a cookie or two. When I came across a recipe for High Protein Paleo Breakfast Cookies, I felt a slight justification for my occasional breakfast food choice. The recipe below is an adaptation of the original recipe posted on the Paleo Hacks blog, I have included 1/2 cup of chocolate chips a bit of vanilla extract and a dash of sea salt.
The almond flour, hemp hearts and collagen powder work well together to make a light and soft cookie packed with protein and nutrients.
