Step 2:

Cream together butter, white sugar and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until smooth

Step 3:

Add egg and vanilla to creamed butter and sugar, mix until combined. Avoid over mixing which could stiffen the egg.

We used Swisse Vanilla Whey Protein Powder for this

Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients mixture and mix until fully combined

Step 6:

Chop about 80 grams of cacao and fold into the dough

Step 7:

Use a tablespoon to create balls of dough about 1-1.5 inches in diameter and place on the baking sheet with about 2 inches separation between each ball

Step 8:

Bake for 12 minutes

Step 9:

Remove from oven and cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes before removing the cookies from the sheet and placing them on a cooling rack
