High Protein Cookie Dough: 25g Fuel

Question 1

Can I use a different type of protein powder?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! I usually go for a vanilla whey isolate because it’s super fine and mixes beautifully, but honestly, most vanilla protein powders work. Whether it’s casein, a plant-based blend, or something else, just make sure it’s a flavor you enjoy on its own. You might need to adjust the liquid slightly if your powder is a different consistency, but it’s usually a pretty forgiving recipe!

Question 2

Is this edible raw? I’m nervous about protein powder!

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is! That’s the best part! Unlike traditional cookie dough with raw eggs and flour that you’re not supposed to eat, *this* edible protein cookie dough is made with ingredients that are perfectly safe to eat raw. The protein powder is typically heat-treated, and we’re using almond flour which is also safe uncooked. So go ahead, dig in with a spoon!

Question 3

How can I make it sweeter?

Accepted Answer

This recipe is designed to be not overly sweet, especially if you’re watching your sugar intake. But if you have a major sweet tooth, you can totally add a bit more liquid sweetener. Try another tablespoon of the sugar-free maple syrup, or even a little honey or agave. You could also sneak in a few more chocolate chips, or even a tablespoon of unsweetened applesauce if you want it sweeter and a bit softer. Enjoy it your way!

Question 4

My dough is too sticky. What do I do?

Accepted Answer

Oops! Don’t worry, that happens sometimes depending on your protein powder or even the humidity. If your protein cookie dough recipe is too sticky to handle, just add a little more almond flour or another tablespoon of powdered peanut butter, a teaspoon at a time, until it firms up. Mix it in gently until it’s just combined. You want it doughy, not gloopy!
