Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Collagen Cookies

Can you bake with collagen powder? One unique property of collagen protein is that it easily incorporates into baked goods as a dry ingredient. It doesn’t change the taste or texture of the recipe but adds protein. These cookies offer additional protein from the almond butter and eggs with minimal added sugar. More protein, fiber, and healthy fat combined with less sugar helps keep blood sugar stable, making it a nutritious choice for a sweet treat. Enjoy!
