Ingredients
- 60 g Protein powder (vanilla)
- 120 g All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 85 g Unsalted butter (softened)
- 60 g Granulated sugar
- 60 g Brown sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 100 g White chocolate chips
- 70 g Macadamia nuts (roughly chopped)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the protein powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Step 4
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and beat until well combined.
Step 5
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a dough forms.
Step 6
Fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts using a spatula until evenly distributed.
Step 7
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they'll set as they cool.
Step 9
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Enjoy your high-protein white chip macadamia nut cookies with a glass of milk or as a snack throughout the day!
