Birthday Cake Protein Cookie Dough
Description
The recipe begins by heat-treating the cake mix in the microwave for safety, then creaming together the butter and brown sugar for a smooth base. Protein powders, cake mix, almond extract, and almond milk are gently mixed in to form a cookie dough-like consistency. Rainbow sprinkles fold in for added color and crunch. This mixture requires no baking and can be served immediately.
The texture is soft and scoopable, resembling edible cookie dough typically used as a treat on its own. This option is useful for those wanting to add protein to a dessert-like snack. The almond extract gives a subtle nutty flavor complementing the vanilla protein powders. It keeps well refrigerated for about a week or frozen for up to three months.
This protein cookie dough is an alternative to traditional baked cookies that can be eaten raw, offering a unique way to enjoy cake flavors with added protein without baking.
