Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Organic cane sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Protein powder (pea or whey, unflavored or vanilla)
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and cane sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the almond flour, protein powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a spoon or spatula until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop evenly sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Gently flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your high protein gluten-free chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
