Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 60 grams protein powder (vanilla)
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 100 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100 grams macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
- 100 grams white chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the protein powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until creamy and smooth.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the chopped macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Scoop tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your protein-packed macadamia cookies with a glass of milk or a hot cup of tea!
