  Here are a couple of extra tips to make the BEST protein cookies ever.

  Make these no-bake cookies with vanilla, chocolate or unflavored protein powder. These are simple flavors that won’t spoil the taste profile.

  Opt for smooth and creamy nut butter. If the nut butter is too thick, you will have a hard time mixing the dough.

  Customize your fitness cookies with extra chocolate chips, chopped nuts, seeds, raisins or dried cranberries.

  Allow the cookies to rest in the fridge for at least half an hour before eating. This way they will get the perfect taste and texture.
