Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 scoop Whey protein powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 unit Large egg
- 1 unit Egg yolk
- 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whey protein powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until fully melted.
Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the melted butter, and mix until well combined.
Stir in the vanilla extract, large egg, and egg yolk until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and optional chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.
Transfer the dough into a lightly greased 8-inch cast iron skillet or oven-safe dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake the pizookie in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is slightly set.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, if desired.
