How to Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 scoop (approx. 1/2 cup) chocolate protein powder, 1 cup rolled oats, 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed meal, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are slightly soft. Avoid overbaking.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
