    These Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Protein Cookies are easy to make, and so delicious! Melt-in-your-mouth kind of delicious. Seriously. Try them.

    I recently made a triple batch of my Peanut Butter Protein Cookies and had just finished making another recipe with a chocolate coating. I looked at the counter and saw peanut butter cookies and melted chocolate, and thought, "Yes. This must happen."

    The Vitamin Shoppe had recently sent over their new Plnt protein powder, a raw pea protein blend. It worked perfectly in this recipe! The cookie part of this recipe is similar to my original Peanut Butter Protein Cookies, but I lessened the fat in these cookies since the chocolate coating has some coconut oil.

    Vegan cookies of this kind (with a nut butter base) can be a bit more delicate than a traditional cookie because they are missing egg to hold everything together. As you form these cookies, the dough may begin to break its shape a little. But the effort to reshape them is worth leaving out the egg, in my opinion, since that is what gives the melt-in-your-mouth feel to these cookies.

    Since the Plnt protein is a raw protein blend, these Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Protein Cookies can even be made raw vegan by (choosing raw versions of the remaining ingredients and) dehydrating them. I have this Excalibur dehydrator, and love it! My body feels great on raw vegan food, and I have had the dehydrator for years!

    Give these cookies a try! And check out my other chocolate peanut butter recipes!

    Ingredients

    Peanut butter cookie:

    • ¼ cup natural peanut butter 64g
    • ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk 60ml
    • a pinch of sea salt
    • ¼ cup Plnt vanilla protein powder (pea blend) 28g

    Chocolate coating:

    • 1 tablespoon coconut oil melted (14g)
    • 1 tablespoon cacao powder 6g
    • 1 packet stevia 1g

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 325F (163C).
    • Combine peanut butter and almond milk. Mix well.
    • Add salt and protein powder. Combine into a cookie dough. (You may need to use your hands.)
    • Break the dough into 6 parts, and roll each into a ball. Place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet (or directly on a mesh dehydrator sheet).
    • Press each with a fork to flatten, and again in the other direction for the design.
    • Bake for 16-18 minutes (or dehydrate for about 16 hours at 105-115F). Let cool.
    • Mix together ingredients for chocolate coating.
    • Dip cooled cookies into the chocolate, and place back on the parchment-lined tray.
    • Place the tray in the freezer for a few minutes to set the chocolate.
    • If you have extra chocolate coating, dip them again and freeze again.
    • Enjoy! Store in the refrigerator.

    Notes

    A note about substitutions: because each type of protein powder has a distinct flavor and texture when baked, the only substitution I would recommend is another pea protein blend, or rice protein powder. (See my Recipe Basics video for examples of what goes wrong when you use the wrong protein powder.)
