# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like you're eating cookie dough straight from the mixing bowl without any of the food safety guilt.
  • You get a legitimate protein boost with zero cooking skills required, which means even on your busiest days you have a snack ready in minutes.
02 -
  • If your dough comes out too thick, resist the urge to dump in milk all at once because you'll overshoot and end up with a puddle that won't scoop.
  • The texture changes slightly as it sits in the fridge, becoming firmer and almost fudgy, which some people prefer so don't judge it before refrigerating.
03 -
  • Let your nut butter sit at room temperature for a few minutes before mixing so it incorporates smoothly instead of creating stubborn little clumps.
  • The chocolate chips are your texture insurance, so fold them in gently at the end and they'll stay intact instead of smudging throughout the dough.
