These Protein Chocolate Chip Cookies are a wholesome twist on a classic treat! Soft, gooey, and loaded with chunks of rich dark chocolate. They’re made with Chief Nutrition’s Grass-Fed Whey Protein in Creamy Vanilla, giving them an extra protein boost to keep you satisfied while still tasting every bit like the real deal.

Packed with healthy fats from almond flour, butter, and dark chocolate, these cookies offer a more balanced way to enjoy dessert. They’re naturally gluten-free, lower in sugar, and higher in protein and fibre. Best of all, they’re quick and easy to make, and are perfect for an afternoon pick-me-up, a healthier sweet snack, or even a crowd-pleasing dessert.

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups almond flour
1/4 cup Chief Nutrition Whey Protein – Creamy Vanilla or Chief Nutrition Collagen Protein Powder - Creamy Vanilla
1/3 cup organic unsalted butter, softened (~75 g)
1 & 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 large egg, room temperature
1/3 cup coconut sugar
1/2 to 3/4 cup roughly chopped dark chocolate

Directions

Preheat your oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, softened butter, vanilla, and coconut sugar until creamy and well combined.
Add in almond flour, whey protein, baking soda, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
Fold through chopped dark chocolate. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, shape 10–12 cookies on the tray. Slightly flatten, leaving about 2 cm between cookies (they spread a little).
Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until golden on top. Let cool for 5–10 minutes before eating (they’ll be gooey when fresh out of the oven).
Dig in and enjoy!
