    Zubereitung

    1
    Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (top/bottom heat).
    2
    Prepare the flaxseed egg. Mix 1 tbsp flaxseed with 3 tbsp boiling water and let it swell briefly.
    3
    Cream the vegan butter with the maple syrup and coconut blossom sugar, then gradually stir in the applesauce, milk, and vanilla extract. If the ingredients don’t combine properly, don’t worry – they will!
    4
    Mix flour, protein powder, orange peel, baking powder, and salt, then briefly stir this mixture together with the flaxseed egg into the dough. Caution: Do not overmix the dough!
    5
    Gently fold in the chocolate chips and soy crispies.
    6
    Take a 10-minute break – let your dough rest covered in the fridge. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (top/bottom heat).
    7
    Now place 1 tbsp of cookie dough each on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Press them down slightly and add the remaining chocolate chips on top as a topping.
    8
    Into the oven it goes: Bake your protein cookies for about 10-12 minutes. The cookies should be golden brown and slightly crispy at the edges. Don’t be alarmed: inside they will still be very soft at first – they will firm up later.
    9
    Are your cookies oddly shaped? Just take a thick glass, place it over a still warm cookie, and make quick circular motions. This will quickly shape your cookie nicely.
    10
    Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then cool completely on a wire rack. This gives them the perfect texture.

    You can easily store leftovers airtight at room temperature or in the fridge.

    Recipe Note

    Who can say no to chocolate chip cookies? No one, especially when they are protein cookies with more than 6 g of protein per cookie! 

    Protein cookies with protein powder

    Especially if you’re new to high protein cooking, it can be difficult at first to find recipes with protein powder that also taste good and aren’t just a clumpy, dry mess. With Vetains Protein Cookies, baking with protein powder becomes an easy and delicious experience. Our cookies taste just like cookies should: deliciously chocolatey and nicely soft. You really only notice the protein powder in the nutritional values.
    Our quick protein cookies are a great basic recipe that you can customize and use in many ways! Protein cookies are also a great snack for birthdays or parties.

    Make protein cookies yourself

    Vetains Protein Chocolate Chip Cookies count as a protein source and contain more than 6 g of protein per cookie. We achieve this by using protein powder and protein crispies in our dough. 
    But why should you make protein cookies yourself? Sure, you can also buy high protein cookies at the supermarket. However, over time that adds up on your wallet and often the protein cookies aren’t exactly how you want them: They contain more sugar than desired, don’t have the right texture, or aren’t in your favorite flavor.

    With our vegan cookie recipe, all that is history: Now you can decide when and how you like your cookies best. Protein Chocolate Chip Cookies not your thing? Then just modify the recipe and easily make Protein Chocolate Cookies or nutty cookies. You can also easily create cookies with berry flavor. The possibilities are endless!

    And don’t worry: Our Protein Cookies recipe is simple and suitable even for beginners. You don’t have to be a master baker to make these cookies.

    Our protein powder: Vetains Vegan Protein Vanilla

    May I introduce? Vetains Vegan Protein Vanilla – the clean protein powder at a glance:

    • High-quality multi-component protein

    • With organic ingredients

    • Free from gluten and lactose, artificial additives & sucralose

    • High quality: made under strict standards in Germany and lab-tested

    • Super tasty: real organic vanilla powder gives an intense, natural flavor

    We might be a bit biased, but for us, Vetain's protein powder is the ideal ingredient in our Vegan Protein Cookies. It not only tastes delicious but contains various plant-based protein sources that contribute to the protein content of your vegan cookies.

      Frequently asked questions

      Vetains protein powder is ideal for baking protein cookies and can be heated to high temperatures without any problems.

      Protein cookies are a convenient snack option for fitness enthusiasts: they contain protein and can be customized to your preferences compared to supermarket products. Plus, they taste super delicious. The question is more: Why NOT bake egg white cookies? ;)

      It's best to store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator (then let them warm up briefly before eating). They keep like this for a few days. Alternatively, you can also freeze them and simply defrost them as needed - a little round in the oven will make them crispy again.
