Cooking Instructions

Now that you know the ingredients you'll need to make these flavor-filled cookies, it's time to review the baking process. Follow the steps below to make perfectly baked oatmeal protein cookies every time. Step 1: Prep all ingredients and gather the baking supplies that you'll need to make your cookies. Step 2: Before mixing any ingredients, preheat the oven to 350F, allowing it to heat up as you prepare the cookie dough. Step 3: Add all ingredients into a food processor and blend until they are thoroughly combined and gooey cookie dough is created. Step 4: Scoop two tablespoons worth of cookie dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Because this cookie dough will bake into a ball shape and will not spread, you won't need to leave much space between the dough. Step 5: Place the cookie dough bites into the freezer for at least an hour. Note: If you're preparing the cookie dough ahead of time, you can leave it in the refrigerator overnight to cook the next day. Step 6: Remove the cookie dough from the freezer and place it into the oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookie dough balls have lightly browned. Step 7: Cool the cooked cookies on a wire rack, and enjoy!
