Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whey protein powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, whey protein powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until well combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts, if using, until evenly distributed.
Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned but the centers are still soft.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
