How to Shape Your Protein Cookies for Baking: Quick Tips

Shaping protein cookies for baking can be tricky, but with these techniques, you'll achieve perfectly shaped cookies every time!

How to shape your protein cookies for baking:

  1. Smash Them: Flatten with a silicone spatula.
  2. Fork Design: Use a fork to create decorative patterns on the dough.
  3. Roll by Hand: Shape and flatten dough balls by hand for uniform cookies.

 

 

Tip 1: Protein cookie dough too sticky? Here are some options:

  • Wet your hands or utensils to prevent dough from sticking.
    • Alternatively, spray your hands with non-stick spray.
  • Chill the dough in the fridge to firm it up before shaping.
  • Use less water while mixing or replace with butter for a less sticky dough.
  • Combine butter and a small amount of water for a less sticky consistency.

Tip 2: Want a perfectly round cookie?

  • Use a round cookie cutter after shaping to circle the edges for a uniform look.
