- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl combine the coconut flour, protein powder, almond butter, applesauce and baking soda.
- Mix together until just combined, then fold in chocolate chips.
- Scoop 1 oz (2 tablespoon) balls of cookies form the batter and place on the prepared baking sheet, flattening gently with the palm of your hand.
