Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/3 cup chocolate protein powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Melt Chocolate: Put butter and chopped chocolate in a bowl. Microwave at 50% power for 30 seconds at a time, stirring until smooth (about 2 minutes total).
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat sugar and eggs until fluffy (2-3 minutes). Add vanilla and mix again.
- Add Chocolate: Slowly pour the melted chocolate into the egg mixture while stirring gently.
- Add Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Add to the chocolate mixture and stir just until combined.
- Make Cookies: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set but the middle is still soft.
Notes
- For chewier cookies: Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking
- Make them last: Store in an airtight container for up to a week
- Add extra flavor: Mix in some chocolate chips or chopped nuts
- Perfect timing: Don't overbake - they should be slightly soft in the center
- Quick fix: If the dough is too runny, add 1-2 extra tablespoons of flour
