Carnivore Cookies Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup ground beef or ground pork (cooked and drained)
- 2 tbsp collagen powder (optional, for added protein)
- 1/4 cup pork rinds (crushed, for texture and crunch)
- 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional for flavor)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper (optional)
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
-
Cook the ground beef or pork in a pan over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain off any excess fat and allow it to cool.
-
Mix the dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed pork rinds, collagen powder (if using), grated cheese, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.
-
Combine the wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the cooked meat, melted butter, and egg.
-
Combine wet and dry ingredients: Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until you have a dough-like consistency.
-
Form the cookies: Use a spoon or your hands to shape the dough into small cookies (about 1 to 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie) and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
-
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown and cooked through.
-
Cool and enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack before serving.
