Equipment for Making Protein Cookies at Home

Ingredients:

  • 2 Eggs
  • 2⁄3 cup Unsalted peanut butter
  • 1⁄2 cup Granulated sugar (white, coconut, brown etc.)
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla extract
  • 1⁄2 cup Vanilla protein powder
  • 1⁄2 cup Baking Soda
  • 1⁄4 tbsp Salt (omit if PB was salted)
  • 1⁄2 cup 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!

Note:

  • we used vanilla pea protein, but any type, such as whey, should work!
