# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No baking required means you can satisfy a sweet craving faster than scrolling through your phone.
  • Seven grams of protein per serving keeps you satisfied without the sugar crash.
  • It tastes like cookie dough because it actually is cookie dough, just made safe to eat straight from the bowl.
02 -
  • If your dough turns out too dry, resist the urge to add milk all at once—add a half tablespoon at a time because it's easier to loosen than tighten.
  • The chocolate chips will soften slightly as they sit in the cool dough, creating almost-melted pockets that taste phenomenal after a few hours in the fridge.
03 -
  • Room temperature ingredients mix together more smoothly than cold ones, so let your almond butter and milk sit out for a few minutes before you start.
  • A rubber spatula is non-negotiable here—it reaches into the corners of the bowl and moves the thick dough without tearing it apart like a wooden spoon would.
