Chocolate Chip Protein Cookies

by Brittany on September 4, 2011

All I can say is winner. winner. winner.

These cookies are made entirely of all-natural ingredients and have no added sugars or preservatives. They also are wheat-free, and could easily be gluten-free if you sub gluten-free oats.

Will also gives them one giant boyfriend stamp of approval! ;)

Whoa, hold up. Easy AND good for you? Dingdingding! We have a winner! (let’s be honest, I would probably double the chocolate chip amount. I have a problem.)

6 ingredients?! These are exactly the recipes I love.

And they look so look. I hope they taste good. I’ll try it with almond butter and maple syrup I think.

(P.S – I seen your fig below, I just picked up some Black mission – and they’re so good. Like little plums to me…)

I used a vanilla whey protein powder, but I’m sure any will do!

nikki September 4, 2011 at 3:46 pm

Thanks! I only keep chocolate and unflavoured at home… I’ll tell you how it turns out! :)

I just made these, not too shabby, thumbs up :) My mix came out really dry, so I drizzled a little almond milk in it until it was a good consistency. Also, I used a scoop, but I see why you mentioned to “shape” them into cookies, otherwise they just stay in a little ball. I will definitely be making these again. Yum!!!

These are deee-licious! The perfect post-workout snack!! Two things I’d recommend: the first is to use chocolate protein powder if you’re a chocolate fan. Second, don’t eat them right out of the oven-they mostly just taste like oatmeal. Put them in the fridge for a few hours and the oils will spread and make for an amazing, juicy cookie.

Nicole December 31, 2011 at 6:20 pm

How many calories in each and how many grams of protein?

Reply

Jamie January 13, 2012 at 5:14 pm

These were fabulous!!!! Just what I’ve been searching for. I used chocolate whey powder and honey. Got 16 small cookies for 82 calories and 5 g of protein each! Thank you !

I saw your cookies on Pinterest and have been browsing your site! Love it all. Your recipes, your blog, your faith. I posted my experience with your cookies and added a link back here to your website from my blog.

Keep up the great work, my ‘sister’!

Christina February 25, 2012 at 8:50 pm

Just made these! I was so anxious to try them that I burned my mouth grabbing one right out of the oven, serves me right I guess! They are amazing! I’m planning to make them for my boyfriend this weekend.

So, I saw your recipe on Pinterest and made it exactly as you suggested. It was delish, so tonight I subed PB for almond butter, milk choc chips for white choc chips and it was even better! Thanks for the great recipe!

Hi,
I was wondering if you can make these without peanunt butter and if so, what would you substitute for it?
Thanks

Reply

Brittany May 21, 2012 at 5:17 am

I’ve never made them with anything else, but I’m sure you could try another nut butter!

Hey I was wandering what protein powder you used?

Reply

Brittany May 21, 2012 at 5:19 am

I’m actually in the process of switching around, but for these I used 100% Natural Vanilla Creme Pure Protein

Hi, I tried to make these but they came out really crumbly and didn’t stick together! Did you use natural peanut butter or the regular kind?

Reply

Brittany July 18, 2012 at 9:28 am

I used Simply Jif for the original version, but perhaps yours is a different consistency. Try adding additional nut butter next time?

Just finished making these DELICIOUS cookies post work out, they are amazing. Better and much easier to make than regular chocolate chip cookies. :)

Hi, these look good. Do you know the calorie count
and protein content? If you do, please post these facts
for the entire recipe and we can divide by the number
of cookies. Since cookies with protein are popular
why not post the Gospel here? I can find a succinct
presentation if you want.
Thanks for the great recipe
