Ingredients
Scale
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup unsweetened nut butter (almond, cashew, or peanut butter) (260 g)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup coconut sugar (75 g)
- ⅔ cup vanilla whey protein powder, packed (85 g)
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips (45 g)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, unsweetened nut butter, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, vanilla whey protein powder, baking soda, and sea salt.
- Start whisking the mixture. As the protein powder mixes with the nut butter, the dough will begin to thicken.
- Once thick, switch to using a rubber spatula to stir until the dough is uniform in color and texture.
- Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips ensuring they are evenly dispersed.
- Use a 1-ounce cookie scoop to portion the dough. Roll each portion into a smooth ball.
- Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each cookie.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes until edges are set but centers are still soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before removing or serving.
