Deep-Dish Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies
Description
This recipe for Deep-Dish Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies uses almond butter as the main fat source, combined with chocolate-flavored whey protein powder and cocoa powder for a pronounced chocolate taste. Honey adds sweetness and moisture while the vanilla and egg help bind the ingredients. Roughly chopped dark chocolate pieces are mixed in for melty pockets of chocolate throughout. The batter is distributed into greased ramekins, yielding thick, single-serving cookies that bake to a risen but moist texture with crispy edges and a firm top.
Baked at 350℉, the cookies develop a slightly crunchy top and edges while staying soft and rich inside. The ramekins help the cookie keep their deep shape and warmth when served. These cookies are suited for individual servings and make a handy paleo-friendly dessert or snack featuring almond butter and protein powder.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons whey protein powder grass-fed, if possible, chocolate
- 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup almond butter crunchy
- 3 tablespoons honey
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg large
- ¼ cup dark chocolate roughly chopped
Instructions
- Lightly grease two 4-ounce ramekins with coconut oil. Preheat your oven to 350℉.
- In a small bowl, stir together the protein powder, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat together the almond butter, honey, vanilla, and egg using an electric hand mixer on high speed. Beat until the almond butter begins to absorb the liquid ingredients and thicken, about 1 minute.
- Pour the protein powder mixture and the chopped chocolate into the almond butter mixture, and stir until well combined. Your batter will be wet and sticky.
- Divide the batter evenly between the 2 prepared ramekins, and spread out evenly. They should be about ¾ of the way full.
- Bake until the cookies have risen significantly, the edges have just begun to darken, and the top feels firm and slightly crunchy, about 20 minutes.
- Let cool for 5-10 minutes (depending how long you can wait!), and serve the cookies in the ramekins.
