Notes

Protein powder matters: A whey/casein blend is strongly recommended to prevent rubbery cookies and keep the centers soft.
Cooling: Let them sit on the pan for 2 minutes before moving—this is when they finish setting.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for the best texture.
