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, then let it cool completely before use to ensure safety while consuming raw dough.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter together with the light brown sugar until the mixture is light, fluffy, and creamy—this forms the base of your dough.
Combine Proteins and Cake Mix: Add the vanilla casein protein powder, whipped vanilla whey protein powder, cooled cake mix, almond extract, and almond milk to the creamed butter and sugar. Mix gently just until combined to maintain a soft, dough-like texture.
Add Sprinkles: Carefully fold in the rainbow sprinkles to distribute the colorful candy evenly throughout the dough without breaking them, adding fun and sweetness.
Serve or Store: Enjoy the protein cookie dough immediately or transfer it into an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week to keep it fresh and flavorful.

Notes

Heating the cake mix is essential for safe consumption as it contains raw flour that may harbor bacteria.
For a dairy-free version, ensure the protein powders and butter alternatives meet the dietary requirements.
Adjust the almond milk quantity slightly if the dough is too dry or too wet to achieve the desired consistency.
Store the cookie dough refrigerated and consume within one week for optimal freshness and safety.
Use gluten-free rainbow sprinkles if dietary restrictions require it.
