Instructions

  • Whisk dry ingredients together for cookies in one bowl
  • Whisk wet ingredients together in a separate bowl, then add dry ingredients and stir. Cover and set dough in the fridge for 30-60 min
  • Roll dough into balls, place on parchment paper at least an inch apart, and bake at 350 for 10-11 minutes
  • They make look undercooked, but will continue to crisp up a bit as they cool
  • Chill a large mixing bowl
  • Make whipped topping by using a stand or hand mixer to whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and hot cocoa & chocolate protein powder (I used just ingredients brand for both to keep the ingredients clean), and vanilla. You'll need to mix for about 6-8 minuets. If using a hand mixer take a break after 4-5 minutes and place in the freezer as it will help it thicken
  • Continue whipping until thick whipped cream texture is achieved
  • Place in a piping bag and pipe onto cookies and top with marshmallows of choice! My homemade marshmallows cut into tiny pieces would be perfect!
