Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 egg
- ⅔ cup light brown sugar, loosely packed
- ½ cup vanilla flavored protein powder
- ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- Add all ingredients except chocolate chips to a mixing bowl. Mix until combined.

- Finally, remove cookies from oven. Allow them to cool on pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
- Use a creamy, all natural peanut butter made with only peanuts and salt.
- Peanut butters made with added oils and sugars will alter the texture of these cookies.
- Any creamy nut butter can be used.
- The cookies will have a slight protein powder taste so use your favorite protein powder.
- I used Nuzest vanilla plant based protein.
- Store leftover cookies covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Freeze for up to 1 month if desired.
