How to Make Lemon Cookies With Protein Powder
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened margarine and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; beat well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice.
- Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between cookies.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let cookies cool on baking sheets for 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While cookies cool, prepare the protein glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup powdered sugar, 1-2 tablespoons water (add more for desired consistency), ⅓ cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored recommended), and ½ teaspoon lemon extract until smooth and pourable.
- Once cookies are completely cool, drizzle or spread the protein glaze evenly over the cookies.
