Cookie SMASH!

PROTEIN COOKIES!

Peanut Butter Chocolate Smash Recovery has arrived at Canuck...so I thought I would try it in a yummy chocolate chewy cookie recipe! Did the test...and they got a "rep" from the tasters :) One of the simplest and easiest cookies to make - about 15 minute cap if you start heating your oven before you begin mixing! Remember to pick up a bag of PB Chocolate Smash the next time you're at the box to try the awesomeness before it is all gone!

 

Ingredients

2 Scoops Progenex Peanut Butter Chocolate Smash Recovery

1/2 Cup Coconut Sugar

1/4 Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

1 Cup Thick Almond Butter (make sure it isn't too liquid/oily, or it won't hold)

2 Eggs, beatened

Pinch Sea Salt

1 Tsp Baking Soda

1 Tsp Vanilla Extract

1/4 Cup Dark Chocolate Mini Chips (used Enjoy Life ones for this recipe)

 

Method

 

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees before starting to combine the ingredients.
2. In a bowl, mix the almond butter, protein, and coconut sugar until combined. Add in the eggs and mix well, then add in the cocoa powder; it should still resemble a dough-like consistency.
3. Add in the remaining ingredients of baking soda, vanilla, salt and chocolate chips. Ensure everything is well combined and the consistency is still dough-like.
4. If you have a small 1oz ice cream scoop, you can scoop out the cookies evenly onto a baking sheet. Or you can eyeball the cookies by shaping them into about 1" size balls and placing them on the cookie sheet.
5. Gently press the cookie balls down to create a more flat top, but not too much or else the cookies won't be chewy or soft after baking.
6. Pop them in the fridge for a couple minutes before placing in the oven to bake for about 6-10 minutes (it depends if you are cooking in a convection or a regular oven - times vary so keep an eye on them!)
7. Remove them from the oven when they have formed a slightly crisp top and allow to cook for about 5 minutes before moving them onto a cooling rack. This will allow the cookie to set on the outside with a little crust and keep the cookie nice and soft on the inside.
8. Once cooled, store in an airtight container any that you haven't eaten yet or shared with your friends!
