Marathon Cookies

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar.

Step 3

Beat in eggs (one at a time), vanilla, protein powder, and baking soda.

Step 4

Mix in oats. Then stir in chocolate, peanuts, and fruit bits.

Step 5

Using a medium (2 tablespoon) scoop, place balls of cookie batter 2” apart on prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown. If you want flatter cookies, use a spatula or the bottom of a glass to press down gently on top of each cookie right after removing from the oven.

Step 7

Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for about 3 minutes before using a spatula to transfer them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Step 8

When cool, store in an air tight container for up to 5 days.
