Pre-heat oven to 350F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the batter. Add the dry ingredients to a large bowl first & mix gently, then add the wet ingredients. Mix together with a fork until a thick batter forms and all ingredients are fully incorporated. The batter will resemble traditional cookie dough, but may be a touch stickier depending on the type of protein powder you’re using.
Add Mix Ins. Fold in mini marshmallows until fully incorporated.
Scoop the dough. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop the dough into three large cookies. The cookies will spread a bit when baking, but I like to smoosh them down just a bit with my hand. Be sure to leave room in between so they don’t bake into each other. Add a large marshmallow to the top of each cookie & gently press into the dough.
Bake. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the cookies are set & golden brown. If the cookies aren’t quite set when you remove it from the oven, instead of baking longer than 10-12 minutes, place it in the fridge for 5 minutes, this will help them set.
