Edible Cookie Dough, Low Calorie and High Protein

There are a lot of high protein edible cookie dough recipes out there, and while a lot of them are delicious, not a lot of them are very macro friendly. They're mostly high in calories and low in protein. But this epic low calorie high protein cookie dough has all the ooey gooey cookie dough vibes you want while seamlessly fitting into your macro balanced diet. Filled with protein, healthy fats, and quality dark chocolate, this edible cookie dough is healthy enough for breakfast.

I used Vedge Vanilla Ice Cream flavoured protein and it's truly what makes it as thick and doughy as it is for the end result. I've tried this with other protein powders before and while the taste is there, the texture isn't always the same. 

I use Vedge for pretty much everything these days from baking to a scoop with water and I love that it's organic, non-gmo, and third party tested. You can shop Vedge with my affiliate discount code: EVANNRYAN to save money!

What you'll need for ingredients and substitutions

• Cashew butter or a mild nut or seed butter or your choice.

• Vanilla extract really brings in the cookie flavour paired with the salt, so don't skip these!
• Dairy free chocolate chips, or your favourite cookie mix-ins.
