    • Missing an ingredient? No problem! Below you’ll find a substitution table with alternatives for the listed ingredients!
    • Instead of vanilla protein powder, you can use other flavors like hazelnut or banana to bake protein cookies in different flavors.

    Instructions

    1 Preheat the oven to 180°C (top/bottom heat).
    2 Prepare the flax egg: mix 1 tbsp flaxseeds with 3 tbsp boiling water and let it sit for a few minutes.
    3 Beat the vegan butter with maple syrup and coconut sugar until creamy, then gradually mix in applesauce, milk, and vanilla extract. Don’t worry if it doesn’t combine perfectly yet – it will later!
    4 Mix flour, protein powder, orange zest, baking powder, and salt, then fold this mixture together with the flax egg into the dough. Be careful not to overmix!
    5 Gently fold in the chocolate chips and soy crispies.
    6 Let the dough rest covered in the fridge for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180°C (top/bottom heat).
    7 Scoop 1 tbsp portions of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, flatten them slightly, and add a few extra chocolate chips on top.
    8 Bake your protein cookies for about 10–12 minutes until golden brown and slightly crisp around the edges. Don’t worry if they seem soft in the center – they’ll firm up as they cool.
    9 Cookies look uneven? Take a round glass, place it over a warm cookie, and swirl in quick circular motions to shape it perfectly.
    10 Let the cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely for the perfect texture.

    Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.

    Recipe Note

    Who can say no to chocolate chip cookies? No one – especially when they’re protein cookies with over 6 g of protein each!


    Protein Cookies with Protein Powder

You’ll only notice the protein in the nutrition facts, not in the flavor.

    Homemade Protein Cookies

    Vetain’s protein chocolate chip cookies are a great source of protein, with over 6 g per cookie – thanks to the combination of protein powder and protein crispies in the dough.

    Why make your own protein cookies? Sure, you can buy high-protein cookies at the store – but they’re often pricey and not exactly how you want them: too sugary, the wrong texture, or not in your favorite flavor.

    With our vegan cookie recipe, that’s a thing of the past! Now you can decide how and when to enjoy your cookies. Not a fan of chocolate chip? Just adapt the recipe and make chocolate protein cookies or nutty ones. You can even make berry-flavored cookies – the possibilities are endless!

    And don’t worry: our protein cookie recipe is easy and beginner-friendly. You don’t need to be a master baker to nail these cookies.
