Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- ⅔ cup unsalted peanut butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar (white, coconut, or brown sugar)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt (omit if using salted peanut butter)
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, peanut butter, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- Fold in the protein powder, baking soda, and salt. The dough will be thick.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Using a 2-tablespoon scoop, form dough balls and flatten them slightly. They won’t spread much during baking.
- Bake for 8-12 minutes (10 minutes works well for most ovens). They will firm up as they cool.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 20 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- To freeze, let them cool completely, then freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat directly from the freezer at 300°F until warmed through.
- For a vegan option, try a different recipe as the eggs are essential in this one.
