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 in the raw flour, then let it cool completely before use to ensure safety.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with the light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, forming a creamy base for the dough.
Combine Proteins and Cake Mix: Add the vanilla casein protein powder, whipped vanilla whey protein powder, the cooled cake mix, almond extract, and almond milk to the creamed butter and sugar. Mix gently until just combined to maintain a soft, dough-like consistency without overmixing.
Add Sprinkles: Carefully fold in the rainbow sprinkles to evenly distribute the colorful candy pieces throughout the dough, taking care not to break them.
Serve or Store: Enjoy the protein cookie dough immediately as a delicious treat or transfer it into an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to one week to keep it fresh and flavorful.

Notes

Heating the cake mix before use is essential for safe consumption because it contains raw flour which might harbor bacteria.
For a dairy-free version, verify that the protein powders and butter alternatives used comply with dairy-free requirements.
Adjust the almond milk quantity slightly if the dough appears too dry or too wet to achieve the desired consistency.
Store the cookie dough refrigerated and consume within one week for the best taste and safety.
Use gluten-free rainbow sprinkles if you have dietary restrictions requiring gluten avoidance.
