Notes

Store the cookie dough in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze it for longer storage. Divide it into single-serving containers or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap before freezing. Thaw in the fridge before enjoying.

Use your preferred protein, whether whey, plant-based, or another variety. Just make sure the flavor will complement the taste of your cookie dough (you can also omit the protein powder if you prefer).
