Holiday Monster Protein Cookies

These Holiday Monster Protein Cookies taste like legit all-the-sugar all-the-butter cookies and we don't know how! We do know they're gluten-free, high in protein, and lower in sugar! Now, if only we could stop eating them...

NOTE: The buttery spread called for can be vegan buttery spread, unsalted butter, or margarine. Just don't use light butter if you want these cookies to be nice and crisp! You can substitute egg whites for the egg beaters in a pinch.
