I love those cookies! One of my favorite early memories are of me at 3 or 4 making them with my grandmother.
Personally, because the cookies rely on a careful balance of liquid, oil, and solids (e.g., if you use margarine instead of butter, they do not "dry", they remain moist and oily), I would think it would take a lot of experimenting (and failures) to substitute things to get it right. I have never tasted a chocolate protein powder that has a flavor that is anywhere near as strong as cocoa powder; margarine or oil will not work in place of the butter; PB2 in place of peanut butter would throw the moisture content off and does not provide the same flavor punch, etc.
You could always make some (or buy some at Walmart) and keep one or two cookies and give the rest away.
