What is Protein Cookies Recipe?
It’s been 2 weeks past New Year and among all those “health / new me goals”, who here is craving sweets or something chocolatey?
I’m raising both my hands but I’m also trying to keep it healthy and nutrients packed, hence this “Protein Cookies Recipe” is one of my goto these days.
It’s extremely easy to make (literally 12 cookies in 30 minutes from scratch) and are perfect for breakfast/snack or just pick me up kinda thing.
Ingredients for Whey Protein Cookies:
Seriously can not get easier than this and that also using simple ingredients like:
- All-Purpose Flour
- Whey Chocolate Protein Powder
- Cocoa Powder
- Flaxseed powder
- Peanut Butter
- Sugar **
- Chocolate Chips
- Baking Soda
- Baking Powder
- Olive Oil ***
- Egg
Most of these ingredients can be found in any home and for ‘Whey Protein Powder’ you can use any brand/ flavor or even plant protein in this.
How to Make Chocolate Whey Protein Cookies:
I have divided the recipe ingredients (in the card below) into two main categories “Wet & Dry”.
Hence, we start by first mixing all the dry ingredients together and keeping them aside for later use.
Then we whisk the wet ingredients together into a smooth paste.
Then we add and fold the dry ingredients into wet ingredients.
Once the cookie dough consistency is reached, we scoop the dough into cookie size dollop and add on a baking tray.
Then bake for 15 minutes.
Once baked, we cool the cookies for 3-4 minutes (if u can wait 😉
