Peanut Butter Protein Cookies

1 large egg
1.5 cups natural peanut butter
1.5 scoops whey protein powder, chocolate or vanilla
1/3 cup Sucanat
1/2 cup almond meal (I substituted GF flour, flax, and wheat germ)
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a bowl beat the egg. Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
3. Form little balls with your hands and space evenly on a lightly greased baking sheet.
4. Bake for 12 minutes. Balls will puff up and lightly brown.
   Let cool for a few minutes and be careful handling them while hot, they are very delicate and will crumble apart!
