Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Protein Cookies

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2

Use a food processor to finely grind 1 cup of the oats into a flour.

Step 3

Combine ground and whole oats, protein powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar.

Step 5

Add egg and vanilla to the mixing bowl, mix until combined.

Step 6

Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the mixing bowl.

Step 7

Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.

Step 8

Scoop cookies into balls onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a baking mat.

Step 9

Slightly pat the cookies down with your hand, as they don't spread too much on their own.

Step 10

Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the bottoms are just lightly starting to brown.
