Protein Cookie carries 3.0g more protein per 100g than Plant-Based Protein Bar (18.0g vs 15.0g) — a real but modest edge.
On protein quality specifically, Protein Cookie scores higher — lit_estimate, typically whey-based — compared to Plant-Based Protein Bar, which is lit_estimate, typically pea + rice blend.
Cost is roughly comparable between the two ($$$), so budget isn't the deciding factor here.
If you're eating plant-based, this comparison is moot — Plant-Based Protein Bar fits, Protein Cookie doesn't.
Protein Cookie's typical serving also delivers more leucine (1600mg vs Plant-Based Protein Bar's 1350mg) — relevant if the goal is maximizing the muscle-protein-synthesis trigger per meal, not just total grams.
The real deciding factor is dietary fit, not macros: choose Plant-Based Protein Bar if you need it to be plant-based, choose Protein Cookie otherwise — the protein numbers are close enough that diet compatibility should lead.
