How to Make Chocolate Covered Cherry Protein Packed Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter spread, 1/2 cup Splenda (or other granulated sugar substitute), 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce, and 1 large egg until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 1 scoop (approx. 30g) vanilla protein powder, 1/2 cup soy flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup rolled oats, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Gently fold in 1/2 cup chopped maraschino cherries (drained) and 1/2 cup chocolate chips.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
