Egg White Protein Sugar Cookies

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Separate 3 fresh eggs and add the egg whites to the butter-sugar mixture along with 1 tsp pure vanilla extract, then mix until well combined.

4. In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup egg white protein powder, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

6. Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

7. Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass or your hand.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

9. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
