Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 90 grams Whey protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 120 grams All-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour for added fiber)
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 85 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
- 100 grams Brown sugar (packed)
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 150 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 15 milliliters Milk (if needed, for adjusting dough consistency)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the protein powder, flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a dough forms. If the dough appears too dry, add a tablespoon of milk to adjust the consistency.
Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion the dough into 12 equal balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden while the centers remain soft.
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.
Serve slightly warm for gooey centers, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
