Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup protein powder
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2-4 tablespoons milk as needed

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the protein powder, peanut butter, and maple syrup; mix until well combined.
  3. Add milk one tablespoon at a time until the mixture forms a workable dough that is not too sticky.
  4. Roll the dough into 12 equally sized balls, flatten them slightly, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are set. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Feel free to add chocolate chips or nuts for extra flavor and texture, or adjust the amount of milk for desired dough consistency.
