🛒 INGREDIENTS
Base Ingredients
½ cup fat-free or low-fat Greek yogurt
(plain works best; vanilla is fine if you reduce sweetener)
You can also use cottage cheese, blended until completely smooth
2–3 tablespoons powdered peanut butter
(PB2, PBfit, or similar)
OR almond flour for a richer, more classic cookie-dough taste
1–2 tablespoons nut butter (optional)
(peanut, almond, or cashew butter)
Adds richness and a true cookie-dough mouthfeel
1–2 tablespoons maple syrup, honey, or sugar-free syrup
(adjust to taste)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
(important—it makes it taste like real cookie dough)
1–2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
(regular, dark, or sugar-free)
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
Mix the Base
In a medium bowl, add the Greek yogurt and powdered peanut butter (or almond flour).
Stir well until thick, smooth, and dough-like.
If it feels too thin, add 1 more tablespoon of powdered PB or almond flour.
Add Flavor & Sweetness
Stir in:
Nut butter (if using)
Sweetener
Vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Mix until creamy and fully combined.
Fold in Chocolate Chips
Gently stir in the mini chocolate chips so they’re evenly spread.
Chill (Optional but Recommended)
Refrigerate for 10–15 minutes for a firmer, scoopable cookie-dough texture.
Enjoy!
Eat straight from the bowl with a spoon
Or spread on rice cakes, apple slices, or toast.
