BEST Protein Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are the BEST Chocolate Chip Protein Cookies that I have ever made! Get ready for a cookie experience that will knock your socks off! ​

​Most of the time protein cookies have a tendency to come out dry, however with a new baking technique these cookies are crunchy on the outside and gooey on the inside! The trick is setting the oven to 410 degrees and only baking for 6 minutes. Sounds crazy, but it works!
