Notes

You’ll need to shape the cookies a bit when you portion them out onto the baking sheet.
If you're using vegan protein powder, the batter will look a bit dry when mixed. If using a fermented protein, you'll need to add some dairy-free milk.
Life is easier when you line the baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone cookie sheet.
Make sure to press the cookies down slightly, they do rise up a bit.
When the cookies come out of the oven, they won’t look done, and they’ll be extremely delicate. Let them cool fully on the pan before moving.
1 tablespoon of honey is optional, but use it if your protein isn't overly sweet.
If made with beef-based protein powder they come out AMAZING. Crisp exterior, light, almost fugy center.
