Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Protein Cookies
Description
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Protein Cookies combine protein powder with cocoa, pudding mix, and peanut butter flavor to create a nutrient-rich cookie dough enhanced by pumpkin and egg whites. The dough is scooped into small portions and baked at 350°F until a toothpick comes out clean, resulting in cookies with a tender crumb and chocolate pockets that soften during baking. The pumpkin provides moisture and subtle sweetness, complementing the chocolate chips folded throughout.
The cookies have a balanced texture—soft but set—and can be enjoyed chilled or at room temperature. Their protein content and modest fat make them suitable for those seeking a treat supporting their nutritional goals without excess sweetness or heaviness.
Chilling overnight is recommended to allow flavors to meld fully, and they store well refrigerated for about a week. Watching the bake time closely prevents overdrying due to the protein powder. These cookies are versatile as a snack or a momentary indulgence with added protein.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup protein powder I used PEScience, chocolate peanut butter flavor, 32g
- 1 tsp cocoa powder black Dutch, 5g
- 1 tsp pudding mix sugar free chocolate jello, 5g
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ cup pumpkin canned, 2 tbsp, 90g
- 3 tbsp egg white, 46g
- 1 tbsp chocolate chips mini, 14g
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the protein powder, black cocoa, baking powder, and pudding mix in a medium sized mixing bowl.
- Add in the pumpkin and egg whites and mix thoroughly; then fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop the dough onto the pan using a spoon. Divide the dough evenly into 12 cookies (or however many you choose to make).
- Bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Be sure to watch carefully so you don't over-bake.
- When cookies are done, remove from pan with a spatula and place on a cooking rack (otherwise cookies will keep baking on the hot pan).
- Once cool, enjoy!
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 8 days to maintain freshness.
- Flavors improve after chilling overnight or longer, allowing ingredients to meld fully.
- Monitor baking time carefully; overbaking may cause dryness due to protein powder content.
