Calories: 68kcal
Ingredients
For the Cookie
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- 2 Tbsp coconut oil
- 1 scoop vanilla casein protein powder
- ½ tsp vanilla
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 ½ tsp stevia

- ½ tsp stevia powder
- ½ tsp vanilla

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Mix the dry cookie ingredients together until incorporated. Mix the wet ingredients separately (melt the oil first).
- 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.
- Cut the strawberries into small pieces.
