Vegan Salted Caramel Cookies
Is there anything better than a chewy, soft cookie that's drizzled with melted caramel sauce? I'm having a hard time of thinking of anything that would sound as good. These cookies are also so easy to make, and just when you thought they couldn't get better, they are made with protein powder!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup vegan butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup white granulated sugar
- 2 flax eggs (2 tbsp ground flax + 6 tbsp warm water)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 scoop Good Protein Salted Caramel protein powder
- 1 1/2 cups + 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup Macadamia nuts, chopped (optional)
- Caramel sauce, to drizzle over baked cookies
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a small bowl, prepare your flax egg by combining ground flaxseeds with warm water. Set aside for 5 minutes.
- To a medium-sized bowl, cream together softened vegan butter and sugars with a hand mixer.
- Add in flax eggs, vanilla extract, salt, cornstarch, and Good Protein Salted Caramel protein powder. Mix until well combined.
- Add baking powder, baking soda, and all-purpose flour until a soft dough forms. Use a spatula to mix together.

- Use a 3 tablespoon-sized cookie scooper to scoop cookie dough into balls and place on your prepared tray, patting the cookie down slightly. Place 2 inches apart.

- Optionally, drizzle melted caramel sauce over your cookies before enjoying.
