Notes
The type and brand of protein powder you use will affect the taste and texture. Experiment to find your favorite combination. Whey protein tends to yield a smoother dough.
Creamy, well-stirred nut butters work best for a smooth, cohesive dough. If your nut butter is very oily, you might want to drain off some of the excess oil.
Overmixing can make the dough tough, especially if you’re using a protein powder that can become gummy. Mix just until everything is combined.
While chilling is recommended, some people enjoy their protein cookie dough slightly warmer. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before digging in if you prefer.
