How to Make Protein Power Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup applesauce, 1/2 cup peanut butter, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup rolled oats.
- Add your choice of optional ingredients: 1/2 cup chopped nuts, 1/2 cup chocolate chips, 1/2 cup raisins, or any combination.
- Mix well to distribute the mix-ins evenly.
- Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
