Protein-Packed Peanut Butter Cookies image

Simple, tasty peanut butter cookies packed with protein. So full of peanut butter flavor, they will practically melt in your mouth! These cookies will not turn out cake-like due to the whey protein. As a matter of fact, many of the people I serve these to either can't tell the difference, or prefer these over other versions of peanut butter cookies!

I'm not a big fan of peanut butter, but these cookies were surprisingly good! The chocolate chips helped to balance out the peanut butter flavor. I would definitely make these again.
