Instructions

Preheat or prepare appliance: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) if you choose to bake the cookie. Alternatively, prepare a microwave-safe plate if microwaving.
Mix dry and wet ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the protein powder, almond flour, peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add 1 to 2 teaspoons of milk, mixing until the dough achieves a cookie dough-like consistency.
Shape the dough: Form the dough into a cookie shape with your hands or a spoon. Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for baking or directly onto the microwave-safe plate if microwaving.
Bake the cookie: Bake the cookie in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, until the edges are set and the cookie feels firm but not hard.
Microwave alternative: If using the microwave, cook the cookie on high power for 20 to 30 seconds, stopping once it is just set to maintain a soft texture.
Cool and enjoy: Allow the cookie to cool for about a minute before eating to let it firm up slightly and enhance the flavor.

Notes

You can substitute almond flour with oat flour or another nut flour if preferred.
Choose your favorite flavor of protein powder to customize the taste.
Adjust the amount of milk to get the perfect dough consistency — it should be moist but not sticky.
Adding chocolate chips is optional but adds richness and texture to the cookie.
Microwaving results in a softer, slightly chewier cookie, while baking yields a firmer texture.
This recipe is great for a quick, single-serving treat and can be easily doubled or tripled for more servings.
