Greek Yogurt Cookie Dough

Greek yogurt cookie dough is the treat that saved my late-night sweet cravings without sending me into a sugar spiral so one evening I had a tub of yogurt and a snack attack and I decided to mix it with a little almond flour vanilla and chocolate chips and it was a dreamy surprise.

Since then I’ve whipped up this protein-packed edible cookie dough whenever I want something indulgent but still feel-good and it’s creamy sweet and dotted with just enough chocolate to make every bite exciting.

Ingredients

• Here’s what I use for this recipe. You can always make substitutions if you prefer!
• Greek yogurt – The base that gives the dough its creamy texture and tangy balance
• Almond flour – Creates that soft cookie dough consistency and adds healthy fats
• Maple syrup – Sweetens naturally and blends well with the yogurt
• Vanilla extract – Enhances that classic cookie dough flavor
• Salt – Just a pinch to balance the sweetness
• Chocolate chips – The fun rich pop of flavor in every bite

Tools You’ll Need

• Mixing bowl – To bring everything together smoothly
• Silicone spatula – For mixing without sticking
• Measuring spoons – To get the flavor ratios just right
• Small serving dish – Perfect for scooping or sharing
• Fridge – To chill the dough and let the flavors meld

Instructions

Step 1:

I start by grabbing a medium mixing bowl and adding in the Greek yogurt.

Step 2:

Next I stir in the almond flour slowly so it mixes evenly without clumping.

Step 3:

I drizzle in the maple syrup then add the vanilla extract and a tiny pinch of salt.

Step 4:

Once everything is smooth I gently fold in the chocolate chips until they’re evenly scattered.

Step 5:

I usually chill it for 20–30 minutes in the fridge because it thickens up beautifully.

Step 6:

Then I serve it with a spoon or portion it out into little snack containers for later!

Tips

Sometimes I mix in a spoonful of peanut butter for a deeper flavor or I add cinnamon if I want a twist and if you prefer your cookie dough less sweet you can reduce the syrup and use mini chocolate chips for better distribution in each bite.

Ways to Serve
