Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Protein powder (whey or plant-based)
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Dark chocolate chunks
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened flaked coconut
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, protein powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chunks, coconut flakes, and nuts if using.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
