Recipe: Healthy Double Chocolate Protein Cookies

There's always some kind of protein packed snack hanging out in a container on our kitchen bench. Why? Because both Jesse and I almost always busy and always in need of quick on-the-go snacks to take to work or to grab on the go and I'm always looking to add in extra protein to my diet.

But whilst we always have some kind of protein packed snack around, it's never the same thing. Variety is the spice of life and I love nothing more than trying out new recipes (and Jesse will happily be the taste tester for said recipes) so what you'll find in that container varies from week to week. 

Whether it's our favourite protein brownies or a protein muffin recipe - or protein cookies like the recipe I'm going to share with you today!

These cookies actually came about after a conversation with some friends about Subway's Chocolate White Chocolate Chip Cookies. The thought of them stuck in my head and when it came time to whip up a new bunch of snacks, I only had cookies on my mind. 

I decided protein cookies should certainly be a thing and we've been making these babies ever since! They're a little bit different than other cookies as they're quite soft in the middle , however, the edges are firm and the bursts of white chocolate chips are totally heavenly. 

Each cookie packs in around 8 grams of protein, depending on which protein powder you choose to use, and they're all sorts of delicious.

Recipe: Healthy Peanut Butter Protein Cookies

I don't know what it is about cookies, but I think it's safe to say they're almost a universal favourite. 

Some like them crunchy, some like them chewy, some like them loaded with mix ins whilst others like them straight up - but I don't know many people who don't like at least one type of cookie. 

Cake can be a bit of a hit and miss, icecream can be controversial, pies are something you love or you hate - but cookies? They always seem to go down a treat!

These cookies came about when we'd finished up a batch of our favourite Protein Brownies and were in need of another high protein treat to keep around for quick and easy snacks.

I didn't feel like muffins or brownies though and my mind just kept coming back to cookies so I decided to combine the two. 

What we managed to come up with was the most amaaaaaaaazing Peanut Butter Protein Cookie Recipe that is packed with protein, however, so delicious that you'd never know for a second they were healthy. 

If you're a fan of peanut butter, I'm prettttyyyy sure these cookies were made for you (because they were made for a fellow peanut butter nutter). They're the perfect mix of crunchy edges, soft middles and chewy peanut buttery goodness - but don't blame me if they disappear in seconds!

But enough yapping;
