DOUBLE CHOCOLATE Peanut Butter Protein Cookie Recipe! This easy recipe makes 2 dozen delicious, healthy cookies made with chocolate protein powder. I love eating these chewy cookies for breakfast or a afternoon snack because they’re a great source of iron, protein and fiber!
This protein cookie recipe is AMAZING! They’re double chocolate, peanut butter and made with chocolate protein powder which gives a nutritional boost! Who doesn’t love a cookie that packs a punch with sources of iron, and high in protein and fiber? I made these cookies a few days ago to rave reviews and they were gone the next day. They’re that good.

With the arrival of baby, I find myself lagging during the afternoon and forgetting to eat lunch. With a newborn baby, there’s something always needing to be done from snuggles, feeding, diapers, cleaning, laundry and saying out loud “I love you so much but why won’t you stop crying? Please talk to me and tell me why!”. These cookies are perfect to grab and go, not only during the afternoon but during the middle of the night feeds and pumping too.
Protein cookie recipe!
I use Bob’s Red Mill Chocolate Protein Powder for these cookies which not only do I love for shakes but is perfect to bake with too. You can use any chocolate protein powder that you’d like to use!
These cookies now share a special place in my heart since they were the first cookies Enceladus and I baked together. She was just 5 days old and helping her Mama make Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Cookies in the kitchen, I have to teach her to love cookies early!
Next time you’re looking for a new cookie recipe that adds nutrition to your diet, look no further and make these Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Cookies! Enjoy!

Notes

My husband just started taking a new medication and becomes nauseous unless he eats a substantial amount of protein. I’ve been looking for a good protien cookie/bar recipe. That Bob’s red mill powder is a great idea… BUT ITS $20+ dollars for a 16oz bag! Perhaps if I ever see the stuff on sale for $5 or less I’ll mix this up to try.
Margaret says
Adding 1/4 c protein powder to a regular cookie recipe doesn’t make it “healthy” in my mind. But maybe I will try with a splenda/sugar replacement to help it get there… They still look tasty though.
Carol says
OH MY GOSH. Healthy peanut butter chocolate chip cookies? Heck yeah! Thanks for sharing and featuring when my party opens up tonight!
Richella Parham says
These look absolutely delicious! I’ve never heard of this chocolate protein powder, and even if I had seen it, I probably would have just thought “yuck” and passed right by. But the idea of adding it to cookies is brilliant! What a great way to get a little lift of protein just when you need it.
Thanks for joining the Grace at Home party at Imparting Grace. I’m featuring you this week!

man, I’ve been seeing a lot from Bob’s Red Mill lately. Maybe it’s a sign! These cookies look beyond delish, I’ll have to try!

What a great idea to add protein powder to your cookies! I am sure there are going to be lots of people offering lots of advice. But if baby is crying and its not about food or a nappy change, and a good cuddle doesn’t help, consider a chiropracter. I know this sounds odd, but she could just need a spinal adjustment.
Patrick@looneyforfood.com says
Such a tiny foot! These cookies look great!
Monika Dabrowski says
Congratulations on becoming a parent! The cookies are fabulous, peanut butter ones are probably my favourite and the fact that they are healthy makes them even more special:)

Melissa says
I’m curious…I’ve never heard of a healthy cookie?? I notice there isn’t any mention of the number of calories per cookie. Do you have this information? Also, I’m new to this healthy stuff. Where do you purchase Bob Red?
Pamela says
Hey Melissa, these cookies are delicious! Bob’s Red Mill store locator is here: http://www.bobsredmill.com/store-finder.html. You can also order online!
Ruth says
Yes what is the nutritional breakdown per cookie?
Angie@Angie's Recipes says
They look scrumptious! Who could resist the combo of peanut butter and chocolate? I certainly can’t.
