Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy natural peanut butter
  • ½ cup Puori vanilla whey protein powder (50g)
  • ½ cup brown sugar, lightly packed (100g)
  • ¼ cup 2% or full-fat vanilla or plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ⅓ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus more for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or mist with cooking spray, set aside.
  2. In a glass measuring cup or bowl, add the peanut butter. Microwave for 20 seconds then stir until it’s a drizzly consistency. 
  3. To a medium mixing bowl, add the peanut butter, protein powder, brown sugar, yogurt, egg, and baking soda. Stir well to combine. Fold in the chocolate chips. 
  4. Scoop the dough evenly into 10 mounds on the prepared baking sheet. Gently press and shape the dough into a cookie shape. Top with additional chocolate chips if desired. 
  5. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden brown on the bottoms and the centers are set. 
  6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before removing from the baking sheet. If desired, top cookies with a little flaked sea salt. 
  7. Store in an airtight container in the pantry for up to 5 days. Or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

Use code PUORIXRFD to save 20% on Puori PW1, our dietitians’ favorite whey protein powder. 

For dairy free, use plant-based yogurt (such as almond milk yogurt) and a plant-based protein powder. Also, use dairy-free chocolate chips, such as the Enjoy Life brand. 

For extra crunch, add ¼ cup chopped nuts or use crunchy peanut butter.
