Cup of Yum
Notes
- You do need both the ¾ cup and 1 tbs of baking flour for the recipe. I’ve tested just above and just below but this makes them have the BEST texture.
- Frost the cookies with dairy-free cream cheese frosting.
- The cookies are super soft coming out of the oven so be careful and let them cool.
- Because of the collagen powder, they do get a bit crunchy after a day.
- Make sure they are fully cooled before frosting them or the frosting will run. Try not to frost them until the day you're serving them though.
- They firm up in the fridge, if making them in advance, heat them slightly, let them cool, and then frost them. They firm up a bit if stored too long and taste best at room temperature.
- Protein powder cannot be used in place of collagen powder.
