Equipment

  • 2 large baking sheets
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients

  • cup Vanilla Whey Protein Powder
  • ½ cup Superfine Almond Flour
  • ¼ cup Coconut Flour
  • ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Xanthan Gum
  • ¼ teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ¾ cup Unsalted Butter softened
  • cup Granulated Allulose ½ cup if Erythritol
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1 tablespoon Unsweetened Almond Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon Peppermint Extract
  • cup Sugar Free White Chocolate Chips
  • 18 Sugar Free Peppermint Candies Crushed. See post for notes about handling these.

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together protein powder, almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, salt, xanthan gym, and baking powder, set aside.
  • In stand mixer - or in a large bowl with an electric mixer - cream butter and sugar substitutes until fluffy.
  • Add eggs, milk, vanilla extract and peppermint extract, beat until everything is fully incorporated and smooth.
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients mix to the mixer bowl, and carefully mix until well incorporated and smooth.
  • Fold in the white chocolate chips and ¼ cup of the crushed peppermint candies, until well combined. Cover chill for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 F, line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Roll 1" balls out of the cookie dough, or use an ice cream scoop. You want to get 24 cookies from the batch.
  • Arrange dough balls on baking sheets leaving at least 2" between cookies.
  • Gently press the tops of each slightly - flattening them a little. They flatten a bit on their own, but can use a little help getting started!
  • Sprinkle with remaining crushed peppermint candies.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes. Cookies will look puffy, but flatten out as they cool. Do not over bake!
  • Allow cookies to cool for 2 minutes before removing from baking sheets. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
  • Cool completely to room temperature before storing in an airtight container, like a freezer bag.
  • Leftover cookies will keep for several days at room temperature, or a couple of weeks in the fridge.
  • Best served room temperature or warmer.
