A scoop of our tasty Whey Protein ups the protein without changing the sweet ginger taste. This mix keeps you on track with your workout plans and adds a holiday twist.

Ingredients You'll Need

Gather these items for a batch of cookies:

• 1 cup whole wheat flour (or your favorite gluten-free flour)
• 1/2 cup oats
• 1/4 cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 tablespoon ground ginger
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/4 cup molasses
• 1 scoop of Whey Protein
• Optional: 1/2 cup raisins or chopped nuts for extra crunch

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
   Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lay out parchment paper on a baking sheet for easy cleanup.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients
   In one bowl, join flour, oats, sugar, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Stir to connect the small parts.

3. Add Wet Ingredients
   In another bowl, blend applesauce, molasses, and Whey Protein until smooth.

4. Combine
   Pour the wet mix into the dry mix. Stir until all parts stick together. If you want crunch, add raisins or nuts now.

5. Scoop and Bake
   Scoop cookie dough by the tablespoon onto the baking sheet. Keep each mound about 2 inches apart.

6. Bake Away
   Place the tray in the oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges turn a light brown. Let the cookies rest on the sheet for a few minutes, then move them to a rack to cool fully.

7. Enjoy
   Once cooled, eat these cookies with a warm cup of tea or coffee. They store well in the freezer too, so you can keep some aside.
