This protein cookie dough is made to eat with a spoon. It has no raw flour and no eggs. Greek yogurt, protein powder, and peanut butter make it thick and creamy. One small bowl has 23.1 g of protein and about 235 calories.

Serving size: 1 small bowl, about 1/2 cup (about 118 g). Makes: 1 serving.

Why This Cookie Dough Works

  • Safe to eat raw. There is no raw flour and no raw egg.
  • Protein from yogurt and whey. Together they give most of the 23.1 g.
  • Real cookie-dough flavor. Peanut butter, maple, and chocolate chips.
  • Ready in 3 minutes. Stir and eat.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt (75 g)
  • 1/2 scoop vanilla whey protein powder (about 2 tbsp / 15 g)
  • 1 tbsp smooth peanut butter (16 g)
  • 1 tsp maple syrup (7 g)
  • 1 tsp mini semisweet chocolate chips (5 g)
  • A small pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Stir the Greek yogurt and protein powder in a small bowl until smooth.
  2. Add the peanut butter, maple syrup, and salt. Stir until thick.
  3. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  4. Chill for 10 minutes if you want it firmer, or eat right away.

If the dough is too thick, add 1 tsp milk. If it is too thin, add 1 tsp more protein powder.
