Protein Chocolate Chip Cookies
Description
These cookies use peanut butter as a base mixed with whey protein powder and coconut sugar, providing flavor and added protein. The two eggs bind the ingredients, and baking soda helps with lightness. Dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips spread throughout create pockets of melted chocolate in each bite.
The dough is portioned into small mounds, flattened gently, and baked at 350°F until the edges turn golden. Cooling the cookies on the pan before moving to a rack helps them firm up without breaking.
They make a convenient snack or dessert with protein enhancement. The recipe includes tips on using flax eggs as an alternative binder and stresses the importance of cooling and parchment lining for baking success.
