Gooey Chocolate Chunk Cookies - Results and Recipe
I'm pleased to announced that after some experimentation, I found a high-protein chocolate chunk cookie recipe that's got a dense, rich texture to it! Since the OG recipe is available on YouTube, I will post my edit here as well. (Recipe makes 5 standard-size cookies, but can easily be scaled): (Wet ingredients): Nonfat plain Greek Yogurt: 50 grams Canned pure pumpkin: 75 grams Light margarine: 50 grams Vanilla extract: 5 grams Sugar-free maple syrup: 50 grams (Dry ingredients): Brown sugar substitute: 50 grams White sugar substitute: 12 grams Vanilla casein protein: 75 grams Quick oats, blended: 35 grams Coconut flour: 12 grams Baking powder: 1.5 grams Baking soda: 1 gram Salt: 1 gram Xanthan gum (optional): 1 gram (Mix-ins): Chocolate chunks: 32 grams (I used Gatsby, which is reflected in the macros) 1. Mix together dry ingredients 2. Mix together wet ingredients and microwave at like 40-50% power until the light margarine is soft (slowly because margarine gets a little freaky when it melts) 3. Add wet ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until part-combined 4. Add chopped chocolate and mix until combined fully 5. Refrigerate dough for 15 minutes, preheating oven accordingly at 350 degrees 6. Divide dough into 5 balls, flatten them slightly into a tall circular shape, and bake at 350 for 14 minutes 7. When done baking, press down on the cookies to flatten them out (makes them turn out more dense) 8. Enjoy cookies once cooled enough to eat or after cooling to room temperature, depending on personal preference The macros for the full recipe (5 cookies) are: 704 calories 65 grams protein 72 grams carbs (not net) 23 grams fat The macros for each cookie are: 141 calories: 13 grams protein 14.5 grams carbs (again not net) 4.5 grams fat I'd say feel free to substitute more of the oats with casein for a higher-protein cookie (maybe make it 25 and 85 grams respectively). I might experiment with that later on since 13 grams of protein for 141 calories isn't the *best*. Though I'd say these are some of the best-tasting protein cookies I've had!
