Granola Chocolate Chip Cookies are soft, chewy, full of protein and crunchy granola. With 5 grams of protein per cookie and a little bit of crunch, these have become my new favorite cookie!
1scoop vanilla protein powderI like the one from Clean Simple Eats
2eggs
1tspvanilla extract
1 1/2cupsflour
1tspbaking soda
1/4tspsalt
3cupsgranolaI used the Nature Valley Protein Oats & Honey kind - it's my favorite and has lots of protein
1cupsemi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and sugars for at least 2-3 minutes. Add the protein powder and mix for another minute. Add the eggs and vanillas and beat for another 2-3 minutes.
In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda and salt. Add to the wet mixture and mix just until combined. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to stir in the granola and chocolate chips.
Use a cookie scoop to scoop out balls of cookie dough onto a prepared cookie sheet. I like to line my cookie sheets with silicone liners or parchment paper. Slightly flatten the tops of the cookie dough balls with the palm of your hand and then bake them for 8-10 minutes.
Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
