The Best Chocolate Chip Protein Cookies

Chocolate chip cookies are already one of life’s greatest joys. But what if they could also sneak in a little extra protein without losing that chewy, melty, “I-need-another-one” magic? Enter: The Best Chocolate Chip Protein Cookies.

These cookies taste just like the classics—golden edges, soft centers, gooey chocolate—but they’ve got an upgrade thanks to Wellious protein powder. It’s like dessert and fuel teamed up and decided to be delicious together.

🍪 Why These Are Actually the Best

• Protein-packed → Each cookie has an extra boost from Wellious, making snack time a little more satisfying.

• That bakery-style chew → Brown sugar keeps them soft in the center with just the right crisp on the edges.

• 10-minute bake time → Quick, easy, and dangerously hard not to eat straight off the tray.

• Clean ingredients → No weird fillers or artificial flavors—just simple, real-food goodness.

🥣 Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 1/2 cup Wellious Protein Powder (vanilla flavor works best here)

• 1/2 tsp baking soda

• 1/4 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 tsp sea salt

• 1/2 cup butter, softened

• 1 cup brown sugar

• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 egg

• 1/4 cup chocolate chips 

👩🍳 How to Make Them

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

2. In another bowl, beat butter and brown sugar until creamy. Add egg and vanilla, then beat again until fluffy.

3. Combine wet and dry mixtures. Stir in chocolate chips.

4. Scoop dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment.

5. Bake at 375°F for 10-12 minutes—edges and tips golden brown, centers soft.

✨ Pro Tips for Perfect Protein Cookies

• Don’t skip chilling the dough if you want extra thick cookies.

• Use high-quality chocolate—the better the chocolate, the better the cookie.

• Slightly underbake for that melt-in-your-mouth chew.

• Want to make them extra fun? Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top right before baking.

❓ FAQs

Can I use a different protein powder?
Sure—but texture and taste will vary. Wellious gives a smooth, clean flavor without chalkiness.

Not with regular flour, but swap in a gluten-free 1:1 baking flour and you’re good.

How do I store them?
Airtight container, up to 4 days. Or freeze and microwave for 20–30 seconds when cravings hit.
