Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • ⅔ cup unsalted peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • ½ cup granulated sugar (white or brown)
  • ½ cup vanilla protein powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

Add-ins

  • ½ cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the cookies bake evenly and do not stick.
  2. Mix eggs and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly fluffy. This step is important as it helps to make the cookies chewy when baked.
  3. Add peanut butter and vanilla: Stir in the unsalted peanut butter and vanilla extract until fully combined, creating a creamy base for the cookie dough.
  4. Incorporate dry ingredients: Gently fold in the vanilla protein powder and baking soda, mixing carefully to keep the dough soft and light, which contributes to the texture of the cookies.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips: Add the chocolate chips and stir them evenly into the dough for bursts of chocolate in every bite.
  6. Shape cookies: Using a spoon, scoop portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each cookie a couple of inches apart. Slightly flatten the tops with the back of the spoon to ensure even baking.
  7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the cookies for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers remain a bit soft and gooey.
  8. Cool the cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, during which time they will firm up. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely and enjoy their melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute white sugar with brown sugar for a richer flavor.
  • Use natural peanut butter for a healthier alternative, but the texture of cookies may be slightly different.
  • Make sure not to overbake to keep cookies soft and chewy.
  • The protein powder adds extra nutrition; however, you can omit or replace it with flour if desired, keeping in mind the texture will change.
  • Chilling the dough briefly before baking can help prevent spreading and improve cookie shape.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
