Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Sandwich Cookies
Ingredients
2 egg whites
1/4 c. Truvia plus 2 Tbsp.
1 Tbsp unsweetened Cocoa Powder
2 Tbsp. PB Lean Gluten-Free Peanut Powder
2 Scoops Top Secret Nutrition Vanilla Protein Powder
1/2 c. almond meal
1/4 c. P28 White Chocolate High Protein Spread
- Beat egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment until whites are foamy; beat in Truvia and continue beating until egg whites are glossy, fluffy, and hold soft peaks. Sift cocoa powder, peanut powder, protein powder and almond meal in a separate bowl and quickly fold the almond mixture into the egg whites.
- Spoon mixture into a plastic bag. Cut off small corner of the bag, pipe about 1 in diameter or size of a quarter onto parchment paper, leave about 1 inch space between discs. Tap bottom of each sheet on work surface to release trapped air. Let the piped cookies stand out at room temperature until they form a hard skin on top, about 30 min.
- Bake cookies in 300F preheated oven for about 12 min. Do not over bake. Cool.
- Gently peel cookies from parchment paper. Match 2 same-size macarons, spread flat side with protein spread and sandwich cookies together. Serve immediately, or stack between layers of parchment, wrap in plastic, and freeze for up to 3 months.
