But what if I told you, that I tried and tested a really cool recipe with a slight twist making it a tad bit healthy without compromising on the taste.

How to make Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Protein Cookies?

Just like all my recipes on my blog are easy to execute, these protein cookies are really easy to make. They’re easy by mixing a handful of ingredients together. You need to add protein whey to the cookie dough and mix everything together and form your protein cookie dough. Later shape them round and bake it in an oven till they rise. The peanut butter is packed with healthy fats and make the cookies healthy and super tasty. Now note the details on ingredients and methods along with some easy tips.

Ingredients 

2 eggs

200gms creamy peanut butter

2 tbsp brown sugar

3 scoops Protein Powder ( easily available in sports stores or Amazon) 

1 tbsp coconut flour

1/2 tsp Vanilla essence
1/2 cup blanched almonds (optional)

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup choco chips

A pinch of salt

Method 

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C. Also line the baking tray with butter paper or butter the tray and set aside. 

2.  In a large bowl, crack the two eggs. add the peanut butter and whisk. Just mix and don't over mix. 

3. Then add the baking powder, sugar, and salt.

4. Now add the protein powder, coconut flour, vanilla essence and mix well with a spatula. 

5. Now fold in the chocolate chips, and mix until they’re evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough. 

6. This dough will look thick but yet be very soft. It will look oily in nature. 

7. Make equal shaped balls and flatten to make flat shapes using palm and fingers. Place three halves of the blanched almonds on each cookie. 

8. Place the cookies on a baking tray and place it in a pre heated oven. Bake for 15 minutes at 150°C. The cookies will rise and increase in size too. They will be firm on the outside and gooey from inside. 

9. Remove the tray from the oven and allow to cool before serving. 

Note

You can substitute pressed oats instead of coconut flour. 
You can use vanilla/ Chocolate Whey protein.
Do not add almonds if you want. This recipe had it so I have added.
