As promised, I am back with another variation of my homemade protein cookies. And these are my favorite! I looooooove peanut butter cookies so much, and while I can usually justify eating an entire batch of my favorite recipe by telling myself that it has protein… I really shouldn’t.
This recipe, however, has 6 grams of protein per 100 calorie cookie, and taste wonderfully peanut buttery. I suspect it may become a staple pretty quickly.
Ingredients:
- one batch of my protein cookie base
- 1 TBS smuckers natural peanut butter
- Mix peanut butter into cookie dough until it’s even throughout.
- Roll into four small balls and place on a cookie sheet.
- Press down on each with a fork, to get the classic peanut butter cookie criss-cross.
- Bake at 350 F for 10-12 minutes.

You could even add some chocolate chips or cacao nibs to give these some extra umph. Comment if you tried this and what you thought. Happy baking!
