These cookies are High in Protein thanks to the secret ingredient, very yummy and healthy. They are perfect for kids because they can eat plantbased protein (almost 60g in total) even if they think of having a dessert and they are not too sweet (Naturally Sweetened as always) aka a plus for kids. They are EASY to make, quick and we only need LESS THAN 10 INGREDIENTS.

They are very versatile, you can add different ingredients to them to make different flavours: coconut, cacao or chocolate chunks, raisins, cranberries, lemon zest, ginger… In this case we added melted chocolate to the mixture to get that chocolate cookie flavour.
