Description
Easy homemade chocolate chip cookies boosted with vanilla protein powder for added nutrition, perfect for a quick and healthy snack.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
- In a separate, larger bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until thoroughly incorporated and smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges appear golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with a plant-based alternative.
- Adjust chocolate chips quantity to preference for more or less chocolatey cookies.
