Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Protein Cookies

Yield: 16 (2 3/4 inch diameter) cookies

Author: Madeline King

Prep time: 10 MinCook time: 14 MinInactive time: 1 HourTotal time: 1 H & 24 M

Ingredients

• 115 grams unsalted butter, softened
• 50 grams granulated stevia or white sugar
• 75 grams brown sugar, or Swerve brown
• 1 large local egg, room temperature
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp butter extract (optional)
• 10 grams local pure maple syrup
• 95 grams vanilla protein of choice
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 120 grams old-fashioned whole rolled oats*
• 60 grams raisins, soaked*

Instructions

1. Using a hand mixer, cream butter and both sugars together on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add egg and mix on high until combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and bottom of bowl as needed. Add the extracts and syrup/molasses. Mix on high until combined and set aside.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk protein, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together. Add to the wet ingredients and mix on low until combined. Beat in oats and raisins on low speed. Dough will be thick and very sticky.
3. Chill the dough for 30-60 minutes in the refrigerator. Preheat oven to 355°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside. Roll balls of dough (about 1.5 tablespoons of dough per cookie) and place 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.
4. Bake for 12-14 minutes until medium brown on the sides. The centers will look very soft and under-baked. Remove from the oven and let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes (the cookies will continue to set during this time) before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Make Ahead Instructions: Our Oatmeal cookies stay fresh covered at room temperature for up to 1 week. Baked cookies / unbaked dough ball freeze well, for up to three months. Bake frozen cookie dough balls for an extra minute, no thawing needed.

Oats: We use old-fashioned whole rolled oats. They provide the chewy, hearty texture!

*Raisins: Soak your raisins in warm water for 10 minutes before using (pat well to dry) – this makes them nice and plump!
