Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix oats, protein powder, espresso powder, baking powder, and cinnamon in a bowl until evenly combined.
- Whisk egg, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Combine wet and dry mixtures. Stir until a thick dough forms. Fold in white chocolate chips if desired.
- Scoop dough onto the tray and gently flatten each portion for a uniform texture.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until lightly golden around the edges and soft in the center.

Notes
For softer cookies, remove them at the lower baking time. For crispier cookies, bake a few minutes longer. Freeze cookies individually before storing to preserve texture. Assemble sandwich versions quickly and return them to the freezer immediately. Customize flavors with cocoa powder, caramel extract, or pumpkin spice. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
