Tackle your afternoon sweet tooth in the best way possible.

Looking for healthy cookie recipes? Prepare to be impressed with this selection of high-protein cookies, designed to bridge the gap between lunch and dinner or to be gobbled as a post-workout snack that's much tastier than a protein shake.

How are these cookies so healthy? Well, the recipes come directly from the MyVegan team, meaning they're packed with plant-based protein and other good-for-you baking ingredients. Not to mention, they're so straight forward to make, with most of the recipes requiring products you likely already have in your kitchen.

Of course, eating cookies isn't the best way to get in all your nutrients and certainly won't replace the plant-heavy meals, which are crucial in your diet. Plus, there's nothing wrong with a good old pack of Marylands, if that's the only thing that will itch your cookie scratch. But if you're partial to a sweet treat on the daily, you might be looking for a way to optimise your snacking, and these healthy cookies can help.

Thanks to their high protein content, you'll be one-step closer to hitting your muscle-building macro goals while also stabilising blood sugar, meaning no 4pm sugar come down. Healthy cookies are also higher in fibre than a traditional bake, making them great for our gut health which we all know is super important given its role in digestion, hormone health, sleep, mood, immunity and more.

Ready to get baking? Our cookie recipes are below - and don't forget we have *so* many healthy recipes on site, from healthy slow cooker recipes for those after some meal inspo to high protein meals no matter what time of day.
