I am still on my protein kick. It's become a bit of a habit to choose foods with high protein. Recently I had to go out and buy more protein powder and I chose a strawberry flavored one. When I tried the chocolate flavor it tasted just like chocolate milk, so of course I thought the strawberry would taste like strawberry milk. Sounded amazing to me, until I actually used it with milk. Not cool. Well, now I have a 2lb tub of strawberry protein powder that I will have to find ways to use. You will be seeing many recipes that include protein powder for sure!
These cookies are peanutty and messy! I love grabbing one on my way out the door for a quick snack that will help curb my hunger for an hour or more. You can hardly tell there is protein powder inside because the peanut butter masks that flavor, if you aren't a fan.

Hi Syleanna!
I have a question. What are the specs of your whey protein? Just trying to compare nutritional info with the one I have. 1 rounded scoop is 30g protein, 1g fat, 140 calories, 3g carbs, 10mg cholesterol - found at Costco. Already made a batch but they were quite dry. Making a second batch today and going to try adding another egg to see if that helps. Thanks for the recipe!
The protein facts really depend on what kind of protein powder. The protein powder I used for this recipe was more around 140 calories but there is one I have in my cupboard right now that is only 100. The cookies do come out a bit dry. Putting in an extra egg should help. Good luck!
