I have been on the hunt for the best protein cookie recipe for a looooong time. My husband and I are counting macros, but it can be a little hard to find a chocolate chip cookie with protein but doesn’t have too many calories, carbs or fats.
I make these delicious Protein Chocolate Chip cookies when I have a really bad sweet tooth and they always hit the spot!
These Protein Chocolate Chip Cookies are literally the best protein cookie I have ever tasted! I judge a cookie by it’s dough, and as soon as I tasted this cookie dough I knew they would be good.
How To Make Chocolate Chip Cookies with Protein:
Start by creaming together softened butter and Truvia Cane Sugar Blend until it is light and fluffy.
I love using Truvia Cane Sugar Blend as a substitute for sugar in recipes. A half cup of Truvia Cane Sugar Blend is equal to a cup of sugar, but has 75% fewer calories!
These cookies were still perfectly sweet and I didn’t miss the extra calories they would have had if I were to use regular sugar.
I also added two teaspoons of molasses to add a little flavor to the cookies. I typically love chocolate chip cookies that are made with a lot of brown sugar, so this mimicked that flavor.
I mixed in some vanilla protein powder, salt, baking soda, whole wheat flour and a cup of dark chocolate chips until everything was well combined. I like to use Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate Morsels.
The protein powder you use is totally up to you! If you have a vanilla protein powder you like, then use that.
I use this Muscle Milk Vanilla Protein because I like the flavor of it. This recipe requires 1 cup of DRY vanilla protein powder, so be sure you have enough before you start baking.
Use a cookie scoop or roll the dough into 24 equal sized balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
These cookies will take the shape of the dough, as it is a very thick and dense dough. I pressed my cookies down a little bit to flatten them out.
Bake at 375 degrees F. for 8-9 minutes or until the edges start to get golden brown.
Each cookie is around 150 calories, 14 grams of carbs, 9 grams of fat (which could be lowered by substituting butter) and 5 grams of protein.

These are so yummy!! I’m watching calories and needing more protein as well. They are filling and super tasty. Thanks for sharing! I’ll be making these again!
I’d like to try these cookies, they sound amazing but can you substitute the wheat flour with any other? I have a sensitivity problem with wheat .

How can I make these cookies a little more moist!
Otherwise they are great.
The Truvia baking blend causes these to be a little bit dry. But they have a great taste. Adding a little brown sugar is one way to moisten up cookie dough. Molasses or honey will also make your dough moist. Hopefully these tips will help.
My family take these cookies when golfing, can they be made with raisins instead of chocolate chips, as chocolate melts when hot on golf course. They love these cookies.
We love raisins in cookies. Thanks for sharing! So glad your family likes the cookies.
