  3. Fold in the chocolate chips, then refrigerate the dough for at least 10 minutes.
Baking

  2. Bake for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden.

Notes

Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to 3 months. Just thaw them at room temperature or pop them in the microwave for a few seconds. For an extra boost of flavor, add some chopped nuts or dried fruits. If you prefer a softer cookie, slightly underbake them. Experiment with different flavors of protein powder for variation.
