I love having a little sweet treat after dinner to satisfy my sweet tooth, but I don’t love the idea of having a sugary dessert that is going to wreak havoc on my body. The solution?! Single Serve Chocolate Chip Protein Cookies! I think I may be onto something here…it’s even safe to eat raw!
What type of protein powder is best to use?
I am a huge proponent of vegan protein powders. Lately, I have been loving Sun Warrior Vanilla. It’s completely plant-based and tastes amazing! I find that to be the trickiest part – finding a protein powder with a clean ingredient label, yet still tastes great. I’m thinking of putting together a protein powder taste test review. Would that be helpful?
This giant cookie is packed full of protein, healthy fats, and of course lots of nut butter and chocolatey goodness. What more can you ask for in a dessert? 😉

These are amazing! Love that they’re single serve 🙂
I know this is a vegan recipe but would it work using a regular egg?
Yes, most definitely! Hope you enjoy 🙂
What is the nutritional information for this recipe?
How much salt us supposed to be in this recipe? The instructions say to add salt, but the recipe doesn’t list it or tell how much.
Hi Jeanne! Thanks for catching that – you only need a pinch, so less than 1/8 tsp of salt! I hope you enjoy the cookie 🙂
