Most people think of Christmas when they think of crinkle cookies. They can come in a variety of flavors, but our favorite is chocolate with peanut butter chips. The cracked powdered sugar caps these cookies are topped with just pop when paired with fudgy chocolate goodness.

What’s even better is that you can add in Metagenics Ketogenic Collagen to help your skin, nails, joints, and bones!

We used an entire serving for this recipe. Most of our taste testers couldn’t tell the difference between the original recipe and the one with added collagen. Only those with a refined palate will be able to taste the added ‘healthiness’ in these cookies.

If you are a fan of protein shakes, that’s the kind of essence we are talking about.

While we added this collagen powder to our cookie recipe, typically, you would just mix a serving with 8 oz of cold water and be good to go. You can have up to two glasses a day!

Plus, if you are on the popular keto diet, Metagenics Ketogenic Collagen has a 70:20:10 ratio of fat, protein, and carbs — like the holy grail of stats for keto lovers.

These are by far some of our favorites cookies —  if you love chocolate brownies and peanut butter, you will be in heaven.

Let’s face it, these aren’t the healthiest cookies, but with the addition of Metagenics Ketogenic Collagen, you can at least help your skin while eating a super satisfying dessert!

You can purchase Metagenics Ketogenic Collagen in chocolate, vanilla, or unflavored (which all work well in this recipe) at DR Vitamin Solutions and Amazon.

6. Bake for 11-12 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Recipe Notes

If using collagen powder, the confectioners' sugar may get a slightly green hue after baking. Green means healthy, right? Don't worry - they still taste amazing!
