½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ stick unsalted butter
1 1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs (regular or flax)
1 tablespoon liquid red coloring
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons buttermilk

Red and/or pink sugar
Low-Carb pink/red sprinkles
1 medium bag of Hershey Kisses (or an alternative brand)

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, Protein Milkshake, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the sugar and butter together until fluffy. Add in the eggs, food coloring, vanilla extract, and buttermilk. Add mixture to flour mixture and fold in.
Chill the dough for at least thirty minutes- a longer chill time will result in crispier cookies.
Optional: Seperate cookie dough into balls and roll into your choice of red or pink sugar. If forgoing the added sugar, skip this step.
Line dough balls onto a baking sheet and bake at 350F for ten to twelve minutes or until edges are browned.
Optional: Remove cookies from the oven and immediately place kisses in the center. Let cookies cool completely on a cooling rack.
