Directions

In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, egg, maple syrup and vanilla extract.
Fold in the protein powder, coconut sugar, baking soda and salt until smooth.
Fold in the chocolate chips. Let the dough rest at room temperature for 5 minutes.
Use a cookie scoop to scoop the dough out into 6 cookies on a parchment covered sheet pan.
Place the pan in the oven and bake for 6 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven and tap it on the countertop 2 or 3 times to help deflate the cookies. Repeat this again at the 10-minute mark.
Bake for 12-14 minutes total, tapping the pan one last time as the cookies come out of the oven. They should be firm on top and slightly golden on the edges and bottom.
Gently press additional chocolate chips on top and a sprinkle of coarse sea salt, then allow them to cool slightly before moving them to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
