Before we wrap up, let’s talk about some common questions about high protein cookie dough:
Can I eat it raw?
Absolutely! These recipes are designed to be eaten raw and are free from eggs, making them safe to eat without baking.
Can I add other ingredients?
Of course! Feel free to add in your favorite nuts, dried fruits, or even spices like nutmeg or pumpkin spice for a different spin on these recipes. I personally love adding sprinkles to a batch of cookie dough.
What kind of protein powder should I use?
You can use any protein powder you like, but keep in mind that the flavor of the powder will affect the taste of the cookie dough. Vanilla or unflavored protein powders work best for these recipes.
