Chocolate Chip Protein Cookie
I recently tried Len and Larry’s protein cookies. While they do contain protein, they also contain a lot of other ingredients that make it taste like you are eating chemical sewage (is it just me?). So I decided to try to make a healthier (and less chemical-tasting) version!
This came out like soft baked cookie perfection! Great for when you want a cookie or two, but don’t feel like making an entire batch.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F
- Mix the dry ingredients in a small bowl. In another small bowl, whisk together the egg whites and pumpkin.
- Warm the peanut butter in the microwave for about 20 seconds. Add the peanut butter and wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until combined (don’t overdo it!) and a dough is formed.
- Divide the dough into two. Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Form two cookie shapes with the dough and place on the parchment. If using, add some chocolate chips. Bake for about 16 minutes. Allow to cool.
