Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Cricket protein powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups Optional: chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cricket protein powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips and optional chopped nuts using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden, but the centers are still soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy the unique, protein-packed goodness of your Chocolate Chirpie Chip Cookies!
