I don’t know why, but I’ve been sleeping on the mint chocolate combination. I literally was not at all a mint fan until I tried the Girls Scouts Thin Mint cookies a few weeks ago. MAN those things are addictive!
And then American Dream Nut Butter came out with their Sham Rockin Cashew Butter; Minty Vanilla Milkshake flavor Cashew Butter – which has crunchy brownie, chocolate chips and fudge sauce inside – so come on! You can only imagine how hooked I was on that!
Ingredients for Mint Chocolate Chip Protein Cookie Dough
A clean and healthy recipe for mint chocolate chip protein cookie dough here, with only a bit of extra sugar from the chocolate candies.
- Vanilla Protein Powder for high protein cookie dough, and also replace the sweetener. I used Quest Nutrition whey-casein blend.
- Unflavored Protein Powder; I used the multi purpose one from Quest Nutrition.
- Mint Vanilla flavored Cashew Butter; from American Dream Nut Butter. It’s lower fat and higher protein than normal, and just amazing (code HAYLSKITCHEN gives you a discount on these).
ADNB has other amazing flavors that would work well here too. - Peppermint Extract
- Oat Flour
- A bit of Coconut Flour
- Unsweetened Almond Milk or another non dairy or regular milk
And for the add-ins
- Mini Chocolate Chips – I use sugar free ones from ChocZero here.
- Mint Chocolate Candies – The classic ones from Andes
If your protein powder is not sweet enough, you might need some more ‘sugar’, or use stevia sweetener instead.
