🛒 Ingredients

• 1 cup (227 g) butter, softened

• 1 1/4 cups (250 g) brown sugar

• 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar

• 2 eggs

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour

• 1/2 cup (40 g) Chichi protein hot cereal (1/4 cup original, 1/4 cup dark chocolate)

How to Make Bakery-Style Protein Cookies

1. Preheat your oven to 385°F (195°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Cream the butter and sugars

   In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.

3. Add wet ingredients

   Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract until fully combined.

4. Add dry ingredients

   Gently fold in the flour, protein cereal, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Mix just until combined—don’t overmix.

5. Shape the cookies

   Roll the dough into golf ball–size portions and place on the baking sheet.

6. Quick chill

   Refrigerate the dough balls for about 10 minutes. This helps create that perfect texture.

7. Bake

   Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and crisp while the centers stay soft.

Tips for the Perfect Cookie

• Don’t overmix the dough once you add the flour—this keeps the cookies tender.

• Slightly underbake for the best chewy texture. They’ll continue to set as they cool.

• Add extra chocolate chips on top before baking for that bakery-style look.

• Use room temperature butter for a smooth, even dough.

Serving Ideas

These cookies are perfect on their own, but even better with:

• A cold glass of milk

• Crumbled over yogurt for a sweet treat

• Warmed up slightly for extra gooey chocolate
