Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Peanut butter
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Whey protein powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips
- 0.25 teaspoon Coarse sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, remove the skillet from heat.
Whisk in the brown sugar and granulated sugar into the melted butter until well combined.
Add the vanilla extract, egg, and peanut butter to the skillet and whisk until the mixture is smooth.
In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whey protein powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in the skillet, stirring with a spatula until just combined.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the dough.
Smooth the top of the cookie dough with a spatula and sprinkle with coarse sea salt if using.
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy directly from the skillet or serve on plates.
