Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder (or your preferred flavor)
- 1/3 cup rolled oats (adds fiber and texture)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter or almond butter

Instructions
- Mix the ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, protein powder, rolled oats, nut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until well combined to form the base of the cookie dough.
- Adjust the texture: Add water or milk a tablespoon at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition until the dough reaches a soft, pliable cookie dough consistency that holds together but is not too wet.
- Add chocolate chips: Stir in the chocolate chips, if using, to add a sweet and melty texture that enhances the flavor.
