Protein Sugar Cookies
by: claire cary
These protein sugar cookies are soft, chewy and a healthier way to satisfy your sweet tooth! They're made with simple, pantry staple ingredients and have 9 grams of protein per cookie!
Ingredients
Wet
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 ½ tablespoons white sugar
- 3 tablespoons greek yogurt
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry
- ¼ cup gluten free all purpose baking flour
- 6 tablespoons vanilla protein powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Melt the butter and add to a mixing bowl. Add in the brown and white sugars and whisk to combine.
- Whisk in the remaining wet ingredients until smooth. Fold in the dry ingredients, aside from the sprinkles until well combined. Fold in the sprinkles.
- Use a medium cookie scoop and scoop the dough onto the parchment paper. They won't spread a ton while baking, so press down slightly with your fingers. I also like to add a few more sprinkles on top but this is optional!
- Bake for 11-14 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool completely before serving, then enjoy!
Notes
I used a vanilla pea protein powder, but you can use whey. I do not recommend anything other than vanilla!
