Equipment
- Wooden Spoon
- Mixing Bowl
- Baking tray
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 2/3 cup coconut sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 oz vanilla protein powder
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, coconut sugar, egg, vanilla protein powder, and chocolate chips. Mix all the ingredients together until they're fully incorporated.
- Now, using your hands, shape the cookie dough into 10 balls and place them evenly on the lined cookie sheet.
- Next, press down on each ball of cookie dough to flatten it into a cookie shape. Be sure to leave enough space around each cookie to allow for spreading.
- Place the cookie sheet in your preheated oven and bake the cookies for about 13 to 15 minutes. You'll know they're done when the edges start to turn a light golden brown.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet. Resist the urge to remove them before they're cooled, as they need time to set.
Notes
- To keep any remaining cookies fresh and tasty, transfer them into an airtight container and store them at room temperature. By doing so, you can enjoy them for up to a week.
- It's important to select a high-quality protein powder for the cookies as it significantly affects their taste. Casein protein powder is recommended for these cookies due to its optimal performance in baked goods but you can also use other types like whey or pea.
