Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make High-Protein Peanut Butter Cookies.
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract (if using). Use a fork to mix until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 3
Add the white sugar, whey protein powder, and salt to the bowl. Stir until all ingredients are thoroughly blended together.
Step 4
Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the dough and roll them into 3/4-inch balls. Place the balls on ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 1/2 inch of space between each cookie.
Step 5
Flatten each ball to about 1/4-inch thickness using a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on top.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 6 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for at least 3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
