Equipment
- mixing bowl
- baking sheet
- parchment paper
- 2 tablespoon scoop
Ingredients
- 2 eggs eggs
- ⅔ cup unsalted peanut butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar white, coconut, brown etc.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt omit if PB was salted
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set 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. They will not spread much while baking, so form into roughly the shape you want the cookies to be.
- Bake for 8-12 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!
Notes
I used vanilla pea protein, but any type, such as whey, should work!
