S’mores Protein Cookie Dough

Did you know that Saturday is National S’mores Day?! Well it is. So if you didn’t have enough excuses to enjoy all things s’mores as it is, now’s your chance. This S’mores Protein Cookie Dough should definitely go on your list of s’mores creations to indulge in. Except it’s not really indulging if it has some secretly healthy ingredients and a protein boost, right?

What do you think the most important part of a s’more is? I think you’ve got to get the marshmallow toasted just right so that it will melt the chocolate on contact. Well, since we don’t have to worry about melting anything in this recipe, I’d say it’s pretty important to not skip out on shelling the chickpeas! You get a much smoother dough if you remove the shells and it really doesn’t take long at all. Just plop yourself in front of the Food Network for 5 minutes and shell away!

As for the marshmallows here, you could use regular sized ones and chop them up (might be a sticky mess), mini ones cut in half (like I used), or those really mini ones you get in hot chocolate (probably would hold up really well). I also tried this recipe using marshmallow fluff, but it all disappeared into the dough, so I don’t recommend using it.

Enjoy!
