Delicious Chocolate Chip Protein Cookies 🍪 

Yields: about 8 cookies

Why add protein powder?

 I added protein powder for a good reasons. The main reason is to give a little punch of protein and nutrients in the recipe and still have a delicious tasting cookie. I like the way the cookies tasted and the texture from the protein powder.

Here’s The Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup vanilla or plain protein powder, I use different ones, pea protein or whey protein are my favorites
• 1/4 cup plus 2 tbsps coconut flour or oat flour or mixed
• 1/4 cup cane sugar or no calorie sweetener of choice
• 2 tbsps honey or any liquid sweetener of choice such as Agave
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp sea salt or kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp corn starch
• 1/4 cup vegan butter, dairy butter or all natural non GMO butter flavored shortening, or softened coconut oil
• 1 tbsp melted coconut oil
• 1 Flax egg, 2 heaping tablespoons golden flax meal with 4 tablespoons water
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans or walnuts, optional
• 2 – 4 tbsp almond milk or you choice of milk if needed for batter

What Kind Of Protein Powder To Use?

I look for a  protein powder that say they are good for baking. But otherwise I like to try out the ones I already have at home such as whey and pea protein. 

Are these prepared the same way any other cookie batter is made? 

Yes. These are made the same way any other cookie batter would be prepared. 

Here Are  The Easy Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl whisk together all dry ingredients.
3. Add in wet ingredients. Mix with wooden spoon until combined. If needed, get in there with your hands and mix completely. If batter is too dry, add a tablespoon at a time to be able to form the batter into a ball. Toss in chips and nuts if using and combine well into batter.
4. Place in fridge for 10 minutes.
5. Roll into golf ball size balls. Gently press down with the back of a measuring cup. 
6. Bake for about 8 to 10 minutes. Try not to over bake. Cool cookie sheet on wire rack for 10 minutes then slide parchment paper off cookie sheet and let cool another 15 minutes. Cookies keep at room temperature in a sealed container for up to 3 days or in fridge for 5 days. Freezes well up to a month.

Enjoy the deliciousness!
