Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Cricket protein powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 1 Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Chocolate chips
• 0.5 cups Optional: chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cricket protein powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips and optional chopped nuts using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden, but the centers are still soft.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy the unique, protein-packed goodness of your Chocolate Chirpie Chip Cookies!
