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.
