minutesThese guilt-free cookies have 4 times more protein* than the average chocolate chip cookie. Yay!
*1 protein cookie contains 4.4g of protein.
Ingredients
1/2 cup (120g) peanut butter *Note 1
1/4 cup (50g) zero-calorie sweetener *Note 2
1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp (1.5g) baking soda
2tbsp+2tsp (40g) vanilla whey protein powder
2tbsp+2tsp (40g) soy flour
4 tbsp (60g) chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat oven to 160℃.
- Combine peanut butter, sweetener, salt, egg, and vanilla extract in a bowl.
- Mix until homogeneous. As the ingredients come together, the mixture will be quite sticky.
- Add baking soda to the mixture.
- Add protein powder and soy flour.
- Fold in ingredients using a spatula. It will be hard to mix, but everything will eventually come together as you continue to fold.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Arrange cookies in a baking tray. Use a measuring spoon to form cookie dough into a ball. (1 tbsp dough = 1 cookie)
- Slightly flatten each piece by using your fingers, as the cookie dough will not spread out in the oven.
- Place cookies in preheated oven. Bake for five minutes or until sides are browned.
- Bring out cookies from the oven and leave them on the tray for around two to three minutes.
- Transfer cookies to cooling rack and let them cool completely. Enjoy!
