Protein cookies are the latest way to get your fix of everyone’s favorite muscle-building macro. But you can do better than the store-bought options out there. Follow these easy steps to create a much more delicious cookie that’s totally customized to your tastes.<\/p>\n

\nThe dough alone contains more than 6 grams of protein per sweet snack\u2014about as much as you’d find in an egg. Whip up a batch and share them with your gym buddies, and don’t forget to let them know you came up with the recipe yourself.<\/p>\n

\n1. Choose Your Dough Base<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vanilla Protein Cookie Dough<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n

In a medium bowl, sift together 1\/2 cup protein powder, 3\/4 cup oat flour, 1 1\/4 cups almond meal, 1\/2 tsp baking soda and 1\/4 tsp salt; set aside.<\/p>\n

In a large bowl, whisk together 6 Tbsp (3\/4 stick) melted butter, 1\/4 cup brown sugar, 1\/4 cup sugar and 1\/4 cup almond butter. Whisk in 2 large eggs, one at a time, then 1 tsp vanilla extract.<\/p>\n

Add flour mixture and mix until fully incorporated.<\/p>\n

Chocolate Protein Cookie Dough<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In a medium bowl, sift together 1\/2 cup chocolate protein powder, 1\/2 cup dutch-processed cocoa powder, 1\/4 cup oat flour, 1 1\/4 cups almond meal, 1\/2 tsp baking soda and 1\/4 tsp salt. Set aside.<\/p>\n

In a large bowl, whisk together 6 Tbsp (3\/4 stick) melted and cooled butter, 1\/4 cup brown sugar, 1\/2 cup sugar and 1\/4 cup almond butter. Whisk in 4 large eggs, one at a time, then 1 tsp vanilla extract.<\/p>\n

Add flour mixture and mix until fully incorporated.<\/p>\n

\n2. Pick Your Mix-Ins<\/strong>
\nWe like a combo of crunchy, chewy, and extra sweetness, but as long as you don’t exceed 2 1\/2 cups total, you’re golden! Fold in your mix-ins, then let dough sit to hydrate, covered with plastic wrap at room temperature for 10 minutes.<\/p>\n

\n3. Bake the Cookies<\/strong>
\nScoop \u00bc cup mounds of the dough (you should have about 24), and space them evenly on parchment-lined sheet trays. Press tops of cookies down to form flattened discs, and bake at 350\u00b0F for 10 minutes. Rotate the pan and bake until set around the edges, about 3 minutes more.<\/p>\n
