1 scoop chocolate protein powder
1 tsp baking powder
2 TBSP almond flour (or flour of choice)
2 TBSP cocoa powder
A handful of chocolate chunks (2 TBSP)
Splash of nut milk as needed

Batter should be thick but spreadable.

Put onto parchment paper on big cookie sheet (cookie will expand as it cooks.)

Bake for 13-20 minutes (check after 13 minutes)
Cookie will set as it cools.
If it does not set, too much liquid was added and it will be more like a warm fudgy lava cake - still edible and totally delicious!

What makes it "better" is lack of artificial ingredients you can't pronounce and the protein/carb/fat ratio.
