Ingredients

1 cup vanilla protein powder 100g
1/2 cup peanut butter 125g, or any nut or seed butter
1/4 cup maple syrup 60ml, or honey/sugar free maple syrup
1-4 tablespoons water * See notes
1/4 cup chocolate chips 40g, optional

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter and maple syrup until combined. Slowly add in the protein powder until a thick and crumbly texture remains.
Using a tablespoon, add enough water until a thick consistency remains. The dough should look thick, soft, and scoopable, like classic cookie dough. Fold through the chocolate chips or mix-ins of choice. When properly mixed, the dough should hold together easily when pressed with a spoon.
Enjoy immediately or chill for 30 minutes for a more firm edible cookie dough.
