Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Whey protein powder, vanilla flavor
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Chopped walnuts
- 0.25 cup Mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, rolled oats, whey protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until it's light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined.
Fold in the chopped walnuts and mini chocolate chips using a spatula or large spoon.
Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts 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 just golden brown. The centers may look slightly undercooked, which is perfect as they will set while cooling.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
