- 1/4 C + 2 Tbsp 72g Swerve Granular (or a granulated sugar substitute)
- 1/2 C 112g Salted Butter*

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F and line a large baking sheet(s) with parchment paper.
- Cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes. (Use a hand mixer, food processor, or a fork/whisk if you don't have a stand mixer.)
- Add the egg, vanilla, and lemon juice, blending with mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, then medium speed for about 2 minutes, or until light and fluffy, scraping down bowl.
- With mixer on low speed, add the flour, protein powder, oats, baking soda, and cinnamon, mixing for about 45 seconds. Don’t over mix.
- Remove bowl from mixer and fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts.
- Portion the dough into 15 balls weighing ~45 grams each onto the baking sheet about 2" apart.
- Bake for 20 to 23 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and center is still soft.
Notes
*Use real butter. Light butter made spongey cookies in testing.
**You can reduce to 1/2 C (112g) to save additional carbs and calories.
Nutrition Information Notes
- Each cookie has 7 WW SmartPoints (blue plan).
- Nutrition facts do not include any information from the zero-calorie Swerve sweeteners. Erythritol has roughly 0.2 calories per gram so if you wanted to add it in for accurate calorie tracking, that would be around an extra 2 calories per cookie.
