Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Whey protein powder, vanilla flavor
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Chopped walnuts
- 0.25 cup Mini chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, rolled oats, whey protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until it's light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined.
Step 6
Fold in the chopped walnuts and mini chocolate chips using a spatula or large spoon.
Step 7
Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just golden brown. The centers may look slightly undercooked, which is perfect as they will set while cooling.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
