Tips
- Protein Powder Perfection: Choose a high-quality vanilla or birthday cake flavored protein powder for maximum flavor authenticity.
- Texture Matters: If the dough feels too dry, add a tiny splash of almond milk to achieve the perfect creamy consistency.
- Mix Thoroughly: Ensure all ingredients are completely integrated to avoid protein powder clumps.
- Chill for Intensity: For an even more enhanced flavor, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before serving.
- Customization is Key: Feel free to swap out chocolate chips for other mix-ins like crushed birthday cake Oreos or white chocolate chips.
- Storage Hack: Always store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and food safety.
- Portion Control: Use a small cookie scoop for consistent serving sizes and a more professional presentation.
