- Add the whey protein powder and coconut flour to the bowl. Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated and a dough forms.
- Fold the chocolate candies into the dough until they are evenly distributed.
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each portion slightly with the back of the spoon or your fingers.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are firm and lightly golden around the edges.
