Can I use whey-only protein powder?

Technically yes, but your cookies will turn out dry and crumbly - trust me, I learned this hard way! The whey-casein blend is magic because casein absorbs liquid slowly, keeping your protein chocolate chip cookies soft. If you absolutely must use whey-only, add an extra tablespoon of Greek yogurt.

How do I keep these cookies from drying out?

Two foolproof tricks: 1) Store them with a slice of bread in an airtight container (the bread gives up its moisture first!). 2) Underbake slightly - pull them out when the edges look set but centers seem soft. They'll firm up perfectly as they cool!

Can I freeze the dough for later?

Absolutely! Scoop the dough into balls first, freeze solid on a tray, then transfer to a freezer bag. When cravings hit, bake straight from frozen - just add 1-2 extra minutes. Works great for macro friendly cookie emergencies!

Why are my cookies spreading too much?

Chill that dough! Protein powder absorbs moisture slowly, so letting it rest for 30 minutes before baking gives you thicker, chewier protein chocolate chip cookies. Also, make sure your baking soda isn't expired!
