Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 whole Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Whey protein powder, vanilla flavored
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray or line with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture and beat until well combined and slightly fluffy.

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (if using) using a spatula until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Spread the cookie dough evenly into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with your spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned, and the center is set. Avoid overbaking for a softer texture.

Step 9

Remove from oven and let the cookie cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice into wedges and serve either warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your high protein treat!
