Protein Cookies for Kids

Kid-approved protein cookies with 12g of muscle-building protein and no artificial sweeteners make for a nutritious and delicious treat that parents can feel good about packing into lunchboxes or serving as an after-school snack. These cookies offer a satisfying combination of a soft, chewy center with just the right amount of crisp on the edges, delivering a tempting blend of sweet and nutty flavors that kids love. Packed with wholesome ingredients, they provide a balanced macronutrient boost—perfect for supporting growing bodies, active kids, and those looking to increase their daily protein intake without sacrificing taste. The cookies are ideal for post-play or homework time, giving kids sustained energy and helping to curb afternoon cravings. For added versatility, they can be made gluten-free by using almond or oat flour, and vegan options are easy to create with plant-based protein powders and non-dairy sweeteners. To ensure the best texture, be sure to measure ingredients precisely and avoid overbaking; they’re best enjoyed slightly soft and chewy. These cookies are a convenient, nutritious snack that fits seamlessly into busy family routines while supporting healthy, active lifestyles.
