Ingredients
Protein Coffee Cookie Dough
- 1 cup rolled oats old-fashioned
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder about 30 grams
- 2 tsp instant coffee finely ground
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 0.25 cup milk dairy or nondairy
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup mini chocolate chips optional
Ice Cream Cookie Filling
- 0.5 cup light vanilla frozen yogurt optional sandwich filling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine oats, protein powder, instant coffee, and baking powder in a mixing bowl.
- Whisk egg, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth and fully blended.
- Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients until a thick, soft dough forms. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Scoop portions onto the tray and gently flatten for an even texture.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are lightly set while centers stay tender.
- Cool completely. For an Ice Cream Cookie or Bristle Cookie variation, sandwich frozen yogurt between two cookies and freeze until firm.
Notes
For softer cookies, remove them as soon as the centers set. For crispier cookies, bake a few extra minutes. Freeze individually on a tray before storing for easy portions. When assembling sandwich versions, work quickly to prevent melting. Customize flavors with cocoa powder, cinnamon, or caramel extract. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
