Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup rolled oats
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, and beat until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the protein powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
Fold in the rolled oats until evenly distributed in the dough.
Using a tablespoon, scoop out dough portions and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
With a fork, press down on each dough ball to form a crisscross pattern on top, gently flattening them.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your high protein peanut butter cookies as a snack or dessert!
