Description
My Cookie Dealer Protein Cookie
A genuinely indulgent bakery-style cookie with a full serving of protein baked in — a collaboration between My Cookie Dealer and RAW Nutrition.
We are going to be straight with you about what this is, because the category name misleads people.
This is a dessert with protein in it, not a protein snack
Both of those can be good things. They are not the same thing, and the numbers make the difference obvious.
| Protein | Calories | Sugar | |
| My Cookie Dealer (full size) | 22g | Up to 780 | Up to 63g |
| REDCON1 MRE Bar | 20g | 260 | 6g |
| G2G Bar | 18g | 300 | 13–15g |
| Level-1 Bar | 20g | 260 | Low (maltitol) |
Roughly the same protein, up to three times the calories. If your goal is hitting a protein target efficiently, a bar or a shake does that job far better.
But that is not the only reason to buy food. If you want something genuinely enjoyable, and you would otherwise eat a normal cookie with no protein at all, this is a reasonable swap — you get 22 grams of protein you would not otherwise have had, in something you actually look forward to.
Buy it as dessert. Do not buy it as a protein source. On that basis it is an easy recommendation.
⚠ Two numbers to know before you eat one
Up to 63g of sugar in a full-size cookie, of which around 57g is added sugar. That is substantially more than a can of soft drink.
Up to 20g of saturated fat — around 100% of the daily value in a single cookie. That is the number most people miss, and it is worth knowing if you monitor cardiovascular markers.
Fibre is around 1g, so nothing here slows the sugar absorption meaningfully.
None of that makes it a bad product. It makes it a cookie, and a large one. Consider splitting it — half is a genuinely satisfying serving at half the numbers.
Heat it. This is not optional if you want it at its best.
This is the single most useful thing on this page, and it explains most of the disappointed reviews you will find online.
These are baked as fresh, soft cookies rather than engineered as shelf-stable bars. Eaten cold and firm they are a different and much worse product than the same cookie warmed through.
My Cookie Dealer's own instructions:
- Oven: 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes
- Microwave: 30 to 45 seconds
- Freezer: keeps up to 30 days
Thirty seconds in a microwave changes the texture entirely — the fats soften, the chocolate melts, and it becomes the gooey bakery cookie it is meant to be. People who eat these cold and find them dry have not had the product as intended.
An honest note on taste
Opinion on these is genuinely divided, and we would rather tell you that than pretend otherwise.
Plenty of customers rate them extremely highly. Some independent reviewers have found them dry, with the protein flavour coming through more than they expected for something this indulgent.
Our advice: buy one before you buy a box. And heat it. If you like it, the box is good value; if you do not, you have spent very little finding out.
⚠ Allergens are extensive
Depending on version, these contain milk, wheat, eggs and soy, and may contain peanuts, tree nuts and sesame. They are manufactured on shared equipment processing all of those.
These are not gluten free — wheat flour and, in the vegan versions, vital wheat gluten are core ingredients. Coeliacs should avoid them entirely.
Some versions are vegan, using vital wheat gluten and pea protein rather than dairy and egg. Others are not. Check the specific cookie — this varies by flavour and by production run, and the packaging is the only reliable guide.
A bioengineered food ingredient is disclosed on some versions.
Where the protein comes from
The RAW Nutrition collaboration versions use a full serving of RAW vegan protein — typically a pea and rice or wheat-based blend — baked into the cookie.
One honest note on plant protein in baked goods: vital wheat gluten is high in protein but relatively low in lysine, so on its own it is not a complete protein. Blended with pea protein, which is lysine-rich, the profile improves considerably — the same complementary principle explained on our PEScience Select Vegan page.
Where it fits
- As a dessert replacement — you were going to have something sweet, and this one has 22g of protein in it
- As a treat in a gaining phase, where the calories are useful rather than a problem
- Split in half as a more moderate serving
- Warmed, with a coffee, which is what it is actually for
Who this is for
- Anyone who wants a genuine treat rather than a functional snack
- People gaining weight, where high calories are the goal
- Anyone who has tried protein cookies and found them dry and cardboard-like — heated, these are a different proposition
- People who would otherwise eat a normal cookie with no protein at all
- Anyone buying a gift — they present well
Who this is not for
If you are cutting, this is a large calorie hit for the protein it delivers. A bar gives you the same protein for a third of the calories.
Anyone coeliac. Wheat is a core ingredient.
Anyone with milk, egg, soy, peanut, tree nut or sesame allergies — check the specific version and note the shared equipment.
If you monitor saturated fat, one cookie can reach the full daily value.
If you are diabetic or insulin resistant, up to 63g of sugar with 1g of fibre is worth discussing with your doctor.
If you want protein efficiently, buy protein. This is a cookie, and an excellent one on those terms.
Stack it with: nothing. It is already a substantial amount of food.
Frequently asked questions
How much protein is in a cookie?
Typically 18 to 25g depending on flavour and size, from a full serving of RAW protein. Snack-size versions carry 15 to 17g.
How many calories?
Full-size cookies range from around 440 to 780 depending on flavour. Snack-size versions are around 280 to 300.
Should I heat it?
Yes. 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes, or 30 to 45 seconds in a microwave. These are baked as fresh cookies, and eaten cold they are a noticeably worse product.
How long do they keep?
Best eaten fresh, and they freeze for up to 30 days.
Are they gluten free?
No. Wheat flour and vital wheat gluten are core ingredients. Not suitable for coeliacs.
Are they vegan?
Some versions are, using vital wheat gluten and pea protein. Others contain milk and eggs. Check the specific cookie.
Is this a good protein source?
It is a good dessert that contains protein. For hitting protein targets efficiently, a bar or shake delivers similar protein for a fraction of the calories.
How much sugar is in one?
Up to 63g in a full-size cookie, most of it added sugar, with around 1g of fibre. Splitting one in half is a sensible option.
