Description
Instead of a protein bar, why not a protein cookie? This recipe is a direct copycat of the Quest Protein Cookies, having the exact same macros for a fraction of the price and ingredients list.
Instead of $2.08 for each storebought cookie, my homemade copycat is just $1.20, about half the price. I'm making just 1 cookie today, but you can easily scale this up to make a larger batch.

Cook Mode Off: Prevents screen dimming

- In a small bowl, microwave coconut oil for 30 seconds, until melted

Notes
- If you don't mind the extra sugar, net carbs, and calories, you can substitute granulated sugar for granulated monk fruit, as well as use regular chocolate chips instead of the sugar-free variety
