Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 3/4 cup Pillsbury Funfetti Cake Mix
- 6 tbsp Dymatize Elite Vanilla Casein Protein Powder
- 2 tbsp Cellucor Whipped Vanilla Whey Protein Powder
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tbsp rainbow sprinkles
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1/4 tsp almond extract
Instructions
- Heat-Treat Cake Mix: Microwave the Funfetti cake mix for 30 seconds to eliminate any potential bacteria from the raw flour. Then set it aside and allow it to cool completely before further use.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and light brown sugar together until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, forming a creamy base.
- Combine Proteins and Cake Mix: Add the vanilla casein protein powder, whipped vanilla whey protein powder, the cooled Funfetti cake mix, almond extract, and almond milk into the bowl with the creamed butter and sugar. Mix gently and just until combined, ensuring the texture remains soft and dough-like.
- Add Sprinkles: Carefully fold in the rainbow sprinkles to evenly distribute the colorful candy bits throughout the dough without breaking them.
- Serve or Store: Enjoy the protein cookie dough immediately as a sweet treat, or transfer it into an airtight container and refrigerate. It will keep fresh and flavorful for up to one week.
Notes
- Heating the cake mix is essential to ensure safety since it contains raw flour.
- For a dairy-free option, verify that protein powders and butter substitutes meet your dietary requirements.
- Adjust the quantity of almond milk slightly if the dough feels too dry or wet to achieve the desired consistency.
- Store the cookie dough refrigerated and consume within one week for best taste and safety.
- Use gluten-free rainbow sprinkles if gluten sensitivity or allergies are a concern.
