PROTEIN CUSTARD - VANILLA CINNAMON

$9.95

Let’s Bake, BBs:

1. Scoop & Shape
After chilling your dough (a must for max cookie vibes), roll into 1 tbsp-sized balls.
Pop 'em on lined trays and gently press your thumb (or the back of a teaspoon) into each to make a cute little well.

2. Bake
Bake at 175 °C for 10-12 mins – until those edges look lightly golden and irresistible.
Cool on the tray for 5, then move to a rack. (Patience, grasshopper.)

3. Fill the Magic
Once they’re completely cool, add a dollop of chilled custard into each centre. Spoon or pipe – your choice, chef.

Optional Fancy Finishes ✨

Dust with cinnamon sugar
Crown with a blueberry or tiny jam swirl
Drizzle with melted dark choc for ✨drama✨

Need it stored? The fridge is your friend. Best enjoyed within 2–3 days... good luck making them last that long 😏

FAQ - Vegan Custard Drop Cookies

Spoon it over pancakes, swirl it into porridge, eat it straight from the jar… no judgment here. The Wizard says: “Waste not, lick the spoon.”
Yes BB, but go creamy or go home. Oat, soy, or almond work best – watery milks won’t give you that luscious custard texture.
Short answer: yes. Long answer: yes, unless you want sad, flat cookies. Chilling helps the dough hold its shape and gives you that dreamy soft centre with lightly golden edges.
No stress! Add an extra ½ to 1 tbsp of corn starch while cooking and whisk until it thickens up. And remember to cool it fully before filling the cookies – warm custard = cookie chaos.
