Ingredients
For the Cookie
- ¼ cup (28 g) coconut flour
- 2 Tbsp (30 g) coconut oil
- 1 scoop (30 g) vanilla casein protein powder
- ½ tsp (2 ml) vanilla
- ½ tsp (2 g) baking soda
- 1 ½ tsp (6 g) stevia
- 1 (1) egg
For the Filling
- 7 tbsp (100 g) plain non fat Greek yogurt ¼ cup + 3 tbsp
- 1/3 scoop (10 g) vanilla whey protein powder

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.

- Combine dry and wet and mix thoroughly.
- Split the dough into 12 balls and place on a oiled baking sheet. Press into cookie form. (Note: You’ll see in the picture the cookies are in mini muffin shape. I pressed the dough into a mini muffin tin to create wells to hold the filling. It was way too much work do to this so just make regular cookies.)
- Bake 7-8 minutes.
For the Filling
- For the filling mix everything but the whipped cream in a bowl and mix vigorously. When all of the protein has incorporated, add the whipped cream and fold in gently.

If I use regular flower instead of coconut or oat, as called for in your recipes, does that increase the calories??
