Notes

Other Options for toppings: If prefer raisins, walnuts and pistachios are others that bake well with this recipe.

Important: if the mixture is too thick add 1-2 tbsp of water at a time until is soft like cookie dough.

*If the dough is too watery add more protein slowly until you get the cookie dough consistency.

It's good to know that the reason for the dough to have different consistencies is due to type of protein being use for the recipe. Each protein is different, therefore it might need more water, none, or more protein.

How to store: Cool completely and store in a airtight container or ziplock bag for up to 2-months or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Reheat for 10-15 seconds in microwave.
