Protein Pizza Cookie

Ever get the craving for an ooey gooey protein pizza cookie? We’re with you on that one. 

Fortunately, we have a recipe for a protein-packed pizza cookie that tastes just as good as it sounds. It’s your favorite restaurant skillet cookie dessert, only made with less sugar and way more protein. 

Even though a dessert of this size might seem like an indulgence, sometimes you just want a deep-dish cookie – and that’s totally okay! 

This pizza cookie is made with low-calorie sweeteners like monk fruit or stevia, along with sugar-free maple syrup. Monk fruit is high in antioxidants and can help blood glucose regulation, stevia has a low glycemic index, and maple syrup may have cancer-fighting properties (1). 

When choosing a protein powder for this deep-dish dessert, choose a whey version of whichever flavor you like best. In our video, we chose vanilla!

Now that you have the nutrition information you need to succeed, try out the protein pizza cookie of our dreams!
