Ingredients
Scale
- 180 g/6.3 oz Greek yogurt
- 15 g/0.5 oz whey protein powder (vanilla, cookie dough, or unflavored)
- 20 g/0.7 oz creamy peanut butter
- 1 tsp/5 ml chocolate chips
- sweetener of choice (adjusted to taste)
Instructions
- Preparation: Gather all ingredients and a medium mixing bowl for crafting the no-bake yogurt-based cookie dough.
- Blending Base: Whisk Greek yogurt with protein powder until the mixture transforms into a smooth, homogeneous cream, eliminating any potential graininess.
- Incorporating Richness: Integrate room temperature peanut butter, mixing vigorously to create a uniform texture that eliminates potential lumps or separation.
- Sweetening Process: Select your preferred sweetener like honey, maple syrup, or stevia, folding gently to distribute evenly throughout the mixture and enhance overall flavor profile.
- Achieving Consistency: Gradually introduce milk, stirring methodically to develop a soft, easily scoopable texture that maintains structural integrity.
- Chocolate Infusion: Delicately fold semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips throughout the dough, ensuring balanced distribution for consistent flavor in every bite.
- Chilling and Melding: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes, allowing ingredients to harmonize and develop a more complex taste and texture.
- Serving and Storage: Portion chilled cookie dough using a cookie scoop or spoon, and store remaining quantity in an airtight container within the refrigerator for optimal freshness during 3-4 days.
Notes
- Chill for Perfection: Refrigerating the dough for 15-20 minutes allows flavors to develop and creates a smoother, more authentic cookie dough texture.
- Protein Powder Precision: Choose a mild-flavored protein powder to prevent overpowering the delicate yogurt and chocolate chip taste.
- Sweetener Selection: Experiment with different natural sweeteners to find your ideal balance of sweetness without compromising the dough’s creamy consistency.
- Storage Savvy: Keep the cookie dough in an airtight container and consume within 3-4 days to maintain optimal freshness and prevent bacterial growth.
