Protein Cookie Dough Slice (GF, DF, RSF, Ve)

#glutenfree #dairyfree #refinedsugarfree #vegan

I love cookies, but living with two little cookie monsters means they're on high rotation and baked quite frequently - so I decided to mix it up and bake them as a slice! This meant they stayed a little goes-er and closed to a thick, warm cookie dough consistency!

Totally delicious and perfect to have on hand to satisfy sweet cravings while ensuring you're getting a better balance of macros than in your standard cookie.

Obviously the quality of protein you choose will impact the deliciousness of your cookie slice, so choose wisely!
