Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 unit Large egg
- 1.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Protein powder (vanilla or chocolate flavor)
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Mini chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Milk
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 unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the vanilla extract and large egg to the butter and sugar mixture, and beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, protein powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Add 2 tablespoons of milk to help bring the dough together, mixing until smooth and slightly wetter, if needed.
Using a teaspoon, drop small scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these high-protein mini chocolate chip cookies with a cold glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage.
