Lemon Blueberry Protein Cookies With Collagen
Indulge in Lemon Blueberry Protein Cookies with collagen! Using grassfed collagen in place of protein powder gives you added protein with one organic ingredient! This collagen is tasteless and simply adds protein to these soft and chewy lemon cookies, giving them 6 grams of protein per cookie!

Notes
Tips
- Make sure butter is soft, this is key for these cookies so they have the perfect soft and chewy texture!
- If you don't have dried blueberries, use another dried fruit like cranberries instead.
- If you want perfectly round cookies, use a cookie cutter and round them immediately after they come out of the oven!
- High Altitude — Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
