Baking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Melt the butter and add to a mixing bowl. Add in the brown and white sugars and whisk to combine.
- Whisk in the remaining wet ingredients until smooth. Fold in the dry ingredients, aside from the sprinkles until well combined. Fold in the sprinkles.
- Use a medium cookie scoop and scoop the dough onto the parchment paper. They won't spread a ton while baking, so press down slightly with your fingers.
- Bake for 11-14 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool completely before serving, then enjoy!
Notes
I used a vanilla pea protein powder, but you can use whey. I do not recommend anything other than vanilla!
