Flourless Peanut Butter Protein Cookies

Makes 24

1/2 cup (113 grams) organic salted butter, softened

113 grams (1/2 cup) organic cane sugar

113 grams (1/2 cup) organic packed dark brown sugar

1 teaspoon organic vanilla extract

2 organic large eggs

226 grams (3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon) organic peanut butter

142 grams (10 scoops) Organic Rice Protein Powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

142 grams (3/4 cup) organic semi sweet chocolate chips

Extra organic cane sugar for dusting

Method

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the butter, cane sugar, dark brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix on low until combined and there are no chunks of butter. Add the eggs and peanut butter and mix for a couple rotations, enough to break the yolks.

Add the protein powder, baking soda, and salt in that order and mix on low until a smooth dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Using your hands, form the dough into 24 balls and flatten them so they are about 2-inches in diameter and place on the prepared cookie sheets. Space them at least 1-inch apart. (These cookies will not spread out very much when baking, so the size you make the dough is the about the size they will be.)

Bake for 11 minutes or until cracked and set on top. Sprinkle with cane sugar immediately after they come out of the oven. Let cool completely on the cookie sheets.

Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days.

High Altitude – Bake at 375°F for 8 minutes or until cracked and set on top.
