Notes
Measure the butter solid but melt it before mixing.
Carton egg yolks may not work the same as fresh.
The protein powder you choose can alter the texture and the flavor of the protein cookies
You need to bake the gluten-free cookies at 325 (not three fifty!). The lower heat helps them from drying out.
Make sure to take them off the pan to cool on a rack. Otherwise, they continue to cook and the more they cook the drier they become.
