Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Beat the egg into the creamed mixture, then add the vanilla extract and milk, mixing until fully combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.

Step 6

Stir in the chopped nuts and raisins or chocolate chips, if using, until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Drop tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once cooled, enjoy these high-protein oat cookies as a perfect snack or treat.
