Recipe - Protein Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup protein powder (your choice of flavor)
• 1/2 cup nut butter (peanut, almond, or cashew)
• 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
• 1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  
  

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, nut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, salt, and baking powder. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
3. Add Milk: Gradually add milk to the mixture until it reaches a dough-like consistency. If the dough is too dry, you can add a little more milk.
4. Fold in Chocolate Chips: If you're using chocolate chips, fold them into the dough.
5. Form Cookies: Use a spoon to scoop out portions of the dough and shape them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and flatten them slightly.
6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
7. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
