Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, room temperature
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 piece Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Vanilla protein powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup High protein candy pieces (such as protein-enhanced chocolate chips or protein candy)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the room temperature butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and continue to mix until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, protein powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the high protein candy pieces until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly undercooked, but they will firm up as they cool.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy your high protein candy pieces cookies as a delightful snack or dessert!
