Add some of your chocolate buttons.Using a tablespoon, add dairy free milk, one tablespoon at a time, until a VERY thick batter is formed. Using your hands, form into a cookie shape.

Notes
* I used a monk fruit blend. ** I used a casein blend and a brown rice vegan blend. I do not recommend whey. You can omit the protein powder, but your cookie will be smaller *** Depending on the brand of protein powder, your results will vary- You may need less/more so add it in tablespoon at a time.
