Zubereitung
Now put all prepared ingredients together in a large bowl and knead briefly (!) but well. The dough can be softer than you usually know from cookies! If it’s still dry, you can add some plant-based milk.
Let your protein cookies dry for at least 1 hour before digging in. You can store leftovers in a cookie tin in a cool, dry place for several days.
Recipe Note
Making protein cookies yourself has never been so much fun … and tasted so good! Our recipe for protein Christmas cookies is packed with protein so you can really indulge during the holidays and still contribute to your protein intake.
The perfect compromise between Christmas & fitness
The Christmas season can be really tough for people who watch their protein intake. Everywhere you get sugary cookies offered, which taste really good but don’t really fit into the diet plan. (Little reminder: It’s totally fine to put the diet plan aside at home over Christmas!)
Often, in the end, people just give in to be part of the lovely tradition – even though they don’t really feel comfortable with it.
But this year you have the choice and can consciously decide for cookies AND protein. Our protein cookies combine the best of both worlds. Surprise your loved ones this year with homemade cookies!
Important tips for your protein cookies
To make your protein cookies really good, we have collected the most important tips & tricks for you:
Be sure to chill the dough
Even if you want to be quick, the dough must chill for at least 60 minutes to stay stable and rollable. If time is tight, you can also leave the dough in the fridge overnight and bake it the next day.Use butter at room temperature
Unlike many other cookies, the vegan butter in our protein cookies must be at room temperature. Soft butter combines optimally with protein powder & cashew butter – this makes the dough nice and smooth.Don’t bake too long
Don’t bake your protein cookies too long – cookies with protein powder dry out quickly. They can stay quite light.Glaze only on completely cold cookies
Give your protein cookies enough time to cool down, otherwise your glaze will just melt away.Protein glaze becomes more liquid over time
So make the batter a bit thicker and, if necessary, add a little more protein powder later to stabilize the glaze again.
Our protein powder: Vetains Vegan Protein
May I introduce? Vetains Vegan Protein – the star in our vegan protein cookies.
Baking with protein powder? Yes, it works! At least with Vetains Vegan Protein. You can safely use our protein powder for baking, for example, protein pastries, but also cakes, muffins & more.
What else makes our protein powder special?
High-quality multi-component protein
Highly heat-resistant and therefore perfect for baking
With organic ingredients
Delicious, natural flavor from natural aromas
Free from gluten and lactose, artificial additives & sucralose
High quality: made under strict standards in Germany and lab-tested
We might be a bit biased, but for us, Vetain's protein powder is the ideal ingredient in protein cookies for Christmas. It not only tastes delicious but also contains various carefully balanced plant-based protein sources!
In this recipe, we chose vanilla protein powder for the protein cookie dough and speculoos protein powder for the glaze – but you can also try new combos and try cinnamon, chocolate, or nut protein powder.
