Description
These protein cookies are the perfect healthy dessert. This healthier treat, with 14 grams of protein per serving, is the ideal way to satiate your sweet tooth. They're chewy, filled with peanut butter, and ready in 20 minutes!
Ingredients
2 Eggs
2/3cup Unsalted peanut butter
1/2cup Granulated sugar (white, coconut, brown etc.)
1tbsp Vanilla extract
1/2cup Vanilla protein powder
1/2cup Baking Soda
1/4tbsp Salt (omit if PB was salted)
1/2cup Chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and set it aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, peanut butter, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
Fold in the protein powder, baking soda, and salt. It will be thick!
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Scoop using a 2-tablespoon scoop and roll into balls. Flatten. Since they won't spread much while baking, roughly shape them into cookies.
Bake for 8 to 12 minutes (I do 10 in my oven), depending on preference. They will firm up slightly as they cool.
Let cool on the baking sheet for 20 minutes, then enjoy!
