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 as they're delicate.
Because of the collagen powder, they do get a bit crunchy after a day so they're best freshly made.
Make sure they are fully cooled before frosting them or the frosting will run.
Use a high-quality collagen powder like Perfect Supplements for the best results. This is the only collagen I trust. Code mamabear10 will save you some money.
