Ingredients

2 cups old-fashioned oats (not quick cooking)
30 grams protein powder (approx. 1/4 cup)
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
6 tbsp unsalted butter , softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Use a food processor to finely grind 1 cup of the oats into a flour.
Combine ground and whole oats, protein powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar.
Add egg and vanilla to the mixing bowl, mix until combined.
Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the mixing bowl.
Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.
Scoop cookies into balls onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a baking mat.
Slightly pat the cookies down with your hand, as they don't spread too much on their own.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the bottoms are just lightly starting to brown.

Notes

The amount of protein in the cookies will depend on the amount of protein in your protein powder.
