Ingredients:
- 3 ½ cups flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- substitutions: sunflower seed butter, cookie butter, soynut butter or coconut butter
- ¾ cup honey
- ½ cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 11 ounces white chocolate chips
- 11 ounces dried cranberries
Instructions:

- Add vanilla extract to the peanut butter and honey mixture and stir.
- Add the liquid mixture to the dry mixture and stir until fully combined.
- Slowly add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until a very thick dough is formed. You may not need the entire ½ cup of milk.
- Stir in the white chocolate chips and dried cranberries until fully incorporated.

To add more protein to the cookie, substitute 2 standard scoops of vanilla protein powder for ½ cup of the flour and the vanilla extract
