My fav flavor of Lenny & Larry protein cookies is the birthday cake.
In this recipe I recreated this awesome protein enriched treat at home, in a way that I can make in minutes, as usual without any leftovers.

I don’t always keep boxes of my fav treats at home, for obvious reasons. Not obvious? OK the reason is then I would try to eat them all.

For this very reason, I like to reverse engineer their recipes at home, which makes me feel like I have access to them whenever I like. I can also control what goes into my treats this way, I use my fav protein powder, I use whatever sweetener, and thickener, etc.
Another obvious benefit is that when you make them at home, they cost a fraction of the price from the supermarket.



This cookie was an absolute winner and my brain went “phew, challenge achieved”.
If a birthday cake treat is your fav, you LOOOVE cookies, and you are (like me) forever trying to increase your protein intake, consider this recipe a go-to.

They have just the right soft, melt in your mouth texture, you will not even know if protein is in there or not.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and line a cookie sheet with parchment.
- In a medium bowl whisk together all dry ingredients (you can just use a fork). Add oil, sugar, mix. Add enough milk gradually to form a cookie dough. If it gets too wet, add some more flour.
- Fold in the rainbow sprinkles.
- Make rounds of cookie dough between your palms, flatten gently and place on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes until the cookies are slightly golden. Let them cool completely (they will firm up as they cool).
