Protein Chocolate Chip Cookies
Description
The Protein Chocolate Chip Cookies combine smooth peanut butter with an egg and light brown sugar for moisture and sweetness. Vanilla protein powder adds protein content and flavor, while dark chocolate chips bring sweetness and richness. The dough is mixed thoroughly and shaped into cookies that do not spread much during baking.
They bake at 3508F for 9 to 10 minutes until set in the center, resulting in soft to slightly firm cookies that hold their shape. The texture balances chewiness from peanut butter and tender crumb enhanced by protein powder.
These cookies make a convenient treat for adding protein to a snack or dessert. They can be stored covered at room temperature or frozen for longer storage. Variations include using different creamy nut butters and protein powders according to preference.
Use all-natural creamy peanut butter without added oils or sugars to maintain ideal texture and flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter creamy
- 1 egg
- ⅔ cup light brown sugar loosely packed
- ½ cup protein powder vanilla flavored
- ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- Add all ingredients except chocolate chips to a mixing bowl. Mix until combined.
- Fold in dark chocolate chips.
- Scoop balls of dough onto lined baking pan. Press down lightly on each cookie. These cookies do not spread much while baking.
- Bake for 9 to 10 minutes or until cookies are set in the middle.
- Finally, remove cookies from oven. Allow them to cool on pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
- Choose creamy peanut butter made only with peanuts and salt; avoid ones with added oils or sugars to preserve cookie texture.
- Substitute other creamy nut butters if desired for variation.
- The cookies have a slight protein powder flavor; select your preferred protein powder accordingly.
- Store baked cookies covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
