Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the natural peanut butter, honey, egg, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the whey protein powder, rolled oats, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon, scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of the spoon, as they will not spread much during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies 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 chocolate chip cookies fresh or store them in an airtight container for up to a week.
