Servings: 24 cookies
Calories: 86kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree 244g
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar 95g
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted, 48g
- 1 egg
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour 180g
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder 44g
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. ground cloves
- 1/2 cup Lily's Dark Chocolate Chips 80g
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheight and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, melted coconut oil and egg until well combined.
- In another large bowl, mix together the all purpose flour, protein powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ground cloves.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Using a large cookie scoop or 1.5 Tbsp. add cookie dough balls onto the prepared cookie sheet. Slightly press the balls down a bit to flatten since they don’t spread much in the oven.
- Bake for 10-11 minutes in the preheated oven or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool to room temperature.
Notes
- This recipe makes about 24 cookies.
- You can substitute the dark chocolate chips with milk chocolate, white chocolate, or semi-sweet chocolate chips if you prefer.
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week or frozen for up to three months.
- Smaller cookies will need less bake time.
- Slightly flatten the cookies prior to baking since these cookies do not spread much.
- For a fluffy cookie, I suggest using PEScience vanilla protein powder. For a more firm dense cookie, like in the pictures use Four Sigmatic Protein powder. This recipe has been tested with both and I personally prefer the fluffier PeScience version! Vega protein powder also results in fluffy cookies.
- Protein powders bake differently and WILL results in different taste and textures.
