Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup smooth natural peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 cup vanilla whey protein powder
  • 1/4 cup PB2 powder
  • 2 tablespoons gluten free flour
  • 5 tablespoons bittersweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, coconut sugar, salt, egg, egg white, and vanilla extract. Mix until ingredients are well blended. Sprinkle the baking soda over the top and blend until smooth.
  • Add the protein powder, PB2 and gluten free flour until well combined.
  • Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Add a tablespoon size portion of dough on the cookie sheet.
  • With your fingers, gently flatten the tops of the cookies, as they will not spread but will puff up during baking.
  • Bake for 6-8 minutes, until the edges are dry to the touch but the middles seem doughy.
  • Let cool and store in an airtight container.

Notes

Storing these peanut butter chocolate protein cookies is as easy as can be! Just pop them into a food storage bag or container, and keep them on your counter for up to three days. You can keep them a little longer than that if you store them in the fridge.
