Greek Yogurt Cookie Dough (Printable Version)

Creamy, protein-rich dough ready in minutes with classic cookie dough flavor, perfect for a quick indulgence.

# Ingredient List:

→ Base

01 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, full-fat or 2%
02 - 2 tablespoons nut butter (peanut, almond, or cashew)
03 - 2 to 3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Dry

05 - ¾ cup oat flour (finely blended rolled oats)
06 - Pinch of salt

→ Mix-Ins

07 - 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips (dark chocolate or halal-certified)

→ Optional Add-Ins

08 - 1 tablespoon crushed nuts or seeds
09 - 1 tablespoon shredded coconut
10 - Dash of ground cinnamon

# Directions:

01 - In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, nut butter, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
02 - Add the oat flour and salt to the yogurt mixture. Stir until a soft, cookie-dough-like texture forms throughout.
03 - Fold in the mini chocolate chips and any optional ingredients such as crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or cinnamon until evenly distributed.
04 - For a thicker, scoopable texture, refrigerate the mixture for 20 to 30 minutes before serving. Alternatively, enjoy immediately by the spoonful without chilling.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes exactly like edible cookie dough but comes packed with protein, so you're not pretending it's healthy—it actually is.
  • Ready in minutes with zero baking skills needed, perfect for those moments when you want something sweet right now.
  • Endlessly customizable depending on what's in your pantry and your mood that day.
02 -
  • Thick, full-fat Greek yogurt is non-negotiable—I learned this the hard way when I grabbed a low-fat container and ended up with something too loose and runny to enjoy.
  • The oat flour is what creates that cookie dough texture; regular flour will be too dense, and using whole oats won't give you the right mouthfeel.
03 -
  • Chill your serving bowl beforehand if you're making this ahead—it keeps everything at that perfect cool-but-not-frozen temperature longer.
  • If you're out of nut butter, tahini or seed butter work beautifully and bring their own subtle flavor to the party.
