Pre-workout, post-workout, or any damn time you feel like it, these healthed-up cookies are extremely filling and packed with muscle-building protein and workout-fueling healthy carbs. They're great right out of the oven and even better right out of the fridge.
1/4 Cup Splenda (or equivalent sweetener of choice)
1/2 Teaspoon baking powder
As much cinnamon and powdered ginger as you'd like
Pinch of salt
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl (because without a bowl this would be very messy).
Using a cookie scooper, medium ice cream scoop, or just a spoon, place 5-8 mounds of dough onto the sheet pan.
Bake for around 18-22 minutes. If you stick your finger in one and it feels too soft to pick up, it's not ready yet. If it looks like a charcoal briquette, it was ready an hour ago and you need adult supervision in the kitchen.
