My Tips for Perfect Protein Cookies

If you can make Chocolate Chip Cookies or Peanut Butter Protein Bars,   you can make these chocolate chip peanut butter protein cookies too. They’re super easy, but here are some tips I’ve picked up over the years of making this recipe.

• Use Other Protein Powders With Caution. I haven’t tried a plant-based protein powder yet, but a few readers have reported that pea protein powders have yielded delicious results. If you decide to play around with the recipe and test it out, I’d love to hear how it goes!
• But Don’t Swap Out the Coconut Flour. Coconut flour is also high protein and high fiber too; you can read all about it in this post for Coconut Flour Cookies (Coconut Flour Cookies). It works differently in baking than other flours, so if you switch this out with something else, there is a high likelihood that your protein cookies won’t work out!
• Adjust the Consistency of the Dough If Needed. Because every protein powder has a different formulation, you may need to adjust the recipe a bit to get the right texture for the dough. Add more protein powder if it seems too wet, or more liquid if it seems too dry and won’t come together properly.
• Let Them Cool Before Enjoying. These protein cookies are more reminiscent of a healthy muffin-like cookie than an ooey-gooey peanut butter cookie, so proper cooling will ensure that they’re fully set and don’t crumble!
