▢2 eggs
▢2/3 cup smooth peanut butter unsalted
▢½ cup cane sugar
▢1 tsp vanilla extract
▢½ cup vanilla protein powder
▢½ tsp baking soda
▢¼ tsp salt
▢½ cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, peanut butter, cane sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add in the vanilla protein powder with baking soda and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into a thick dough. If the dough is not thick, keep on adding more protein powder until it thickens up (refer to pics above for dough consistency)
Now, fold in the chocolate chips.
Finally, scoop the dough using 2 tbsp scoop onto the parchment paper. Form cookies with a spoon to make them as flat as you like, they won’t change in shape much.
Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes and let them cool down on a baking sheet before serving.
