Can’t pick favorites when it comes to the\u00a0classic chocolate chip cookie and a brownie? Why choose when you can bake both into one! These\u00a0protein “brookies”\u00a0(half brownie, half cookie) aren’t\u00a0twice as indulgent, either. Our\u00a0healthier recipe\u00a0is paleo<\/a>, gluten-free and packed with seven grams of protein per cookie thanks to a combination of DailyBurn’s plant-based Fuel-6 protein powder in vanilla and chocolate<\/a> (post-workout snack, anyone?).\u00a0Plus, for those keeping an eye on calories,\u00a0each cookie has\u00a0fewer than 200 calories apiece.\u00a0Yes, maybe you\u00a0can\u00a0<\/em>have it all \u2014\u00a0in one guilt-free treat!<\/p>\n

Preparation<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. First, preheat oven to 350\u00baF and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.<\/li>\n
  2. In one medium-size bowl, place all ingredients for the chocolate chip cookie side and mix until your consistency is like cookie dough. Depending on the thickness of your almond butter, you may need to add a few more tablespoons of protein powder<\/a> or add in some water.<\/li>\n
  3. In a second medium-size bowl, place all ingredients for the brownie side and mix until your consistency is like cookie dough. Again, depending on the thickness of you almond butter, you may need to add a few more tablespoons of protein powder or\u00a0add in some water.<\/li>\n
  4. Spoon out 1 tablespoon of each dough into your palms and roll into a ball, swirling the flavors together. Flatten between your palms and place on a baking sheet.<\/li>\n
  5. Bake at 350\u00baF for 10-12 minutes or until the edges begin to turn golden brown.<\/li>\n
  6. Let cool for 10-15 minutes so that the cookies can firm up a bit.<\/li>\n
  7. Store in a ziplock bag in the freezer<\/strong>\u00a0for best results (so that they can harden even more).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
