Thai Tea Protein Cookies

Welcome to our weekly Foodie Friday link up! I’m linking up with Annmarie from the Fit Foodie Mama + Esther from Chocolate Runner Girl to create awesome healthy recipes each week! This week’s theme is Baked Goods!

I’ve been super-slacking in the realms of making recipes/meal-prepping! :[ But it’s for good reason! (I’ve actually been getting to have a life lately!) I’m also trying to be a more productive member of society so I’ve embarked on a number of projects with my advisor and my senior residents so that I can pursue both community medicine and sports medicine (more or less)! :]

Wayyy back in the day, I reviewed Milk Bar Life, and I decided to adapt a recipe from there! I don’t bake very often, and don’t anticipate myself doing this much in the next couple months because it’s been hot af over here (92 degrees yesterday, although it was a torrential downpour on Saturday so go figure).

The cookies I made look vastly different (and nowhere near as pretty) as the ones pictured in the cookbook because I changed up…a ton of things. I wanted to add protein and I also don’t have any sugar in my apartment other than coconut sugar, so…you gotta work with what you have! :O

They actually turned out pretty well, considering the fact that I completely winged it! Yes, they’re not the prettiest, but they’re super tasty (as long as you happen to love Thai tea, which I do).
