Protein-Packed Peanut Butter Cookies image

Simple, tasty peanut butter cookies packed with protein. So full of peanut butter flavor, they will practically melt in your mouth! These cookies will not turn out cake-like due to the whey protein. As a matter of fact, many of the people I serve these to either can't tell the difference, or prefer these over other versions of peanut butter cookies!

Time 25m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup smooth peanut butter
1 large egg
1 dash vanilla extract
⅔ cup white sugar
½ cup whey protein powder
¼ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Combine peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract in a bowl with a fork. Mix until smooth. Add sugar, whey protein, and salt. Mix well until ingredients are blended together.
  • Scoop the mixture out with a tablespoon and roll into 3/4-inch balls. Place onto ungreased baking sheets, about 1/2 inch apart. Flatten each cookie to 1/4-inch thickness with a fork.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on the edges, about 6 minutes. Let cool for at least 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
