🍪 High-Protein Brownie Mix Cookies
Ingredients
1 box (18 oz) brownie mix
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
¼ cup vegetable oil (or use 2 tbsp oil + 2 tbsp Greek yogurt for more protein)
1 scoop chocolate or vanilla protein powder (whey works best; plant-based works too)
1 cup chocolate chips (optional — or use high-protein chips)
Optional boosts:
2 tbsp Greek yogurt
2 tbsp milk if dough gets too thick
A pinch of salt for richer flavor
🍫 Instructions
- Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, combine:
Brownie mix
Flour
Protein powder
Mix until fully combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients
Add:
Eggs
Oil (or oil + Greek yogurt)
Mix until a thick cookie dough forms.
If too thick or crumbly, add 1–2 tbsp milk to bring it together.
- Add Chocolate Chips
Fold in chocolate chips or high-protein chocolate pieces.
- Shape Cookies
Scoop dough into balls (1–2 tbsp each).
Place on baking sheet and gently flatten—brownie cookie dough doesn’t spread much.
- Bake
Bake 9–12 minutes for soft cookies.
Bake 12–14 minutes for firmer cookies.
Let cool 5 minutes before moving them—they set as they cool.
💪 HIGH-PROTEIN TIPS
To increase protein without drying the cookies:
✔ Best additions (choose any):
1 scoop whey protein = +20–25g protein
2–3 tbsp Greek yogurt keeps cookies soft
Replace some chocolate chips with protein chips
Add 2 tbsp powdered peanut butter (PB2) for extra flavor + protein
Use Fairlife milk for any liquid adjustments
✔ Nutrition Estimate (per cookie, 14 cookies)
Approx. 8–12g protein each, depending on protein powder used.
