Why This Recipe Works

Using thick Greek yogurt creates the dense, chewy mouthfeel you expect from cookie dough while keeping the recipe low effort. Whey protein adds structure and a protein bump so the snack feels more filling than a plain spoonful of yogurt. Peanut butter brings natural fat for richness and helps bind everything without baking. Sweetener is optional and adjustable which makes the recipe flexible for different diets and palettes. Chocolate chips add texture and a visual cue that this is dessert worthy. Little adjustments to liquid let you turn it into a dip or a spread in seconds.

Flavor and Texture

Vanilla or cookie dough flavored whey deepens the dessert vibe while unflavored whey keeps it neutral and adaptable. Greek yogurt gives a tang that balances sweetener and peanut butter so the result is not cloying. The texture is thick and slightly chewy when chilled, softer at room temperature. Tiny chocolate chips provide crunchy pops that mimic real cookie dough. Overall it hits creamy sweet and slightly salty notes that make it satisfyingly snackable.

Ingredients

* 180 grams Greek yogurt
* 15 grams whey protein powder (vanilla, cookie dough, or unflavored)
* 20 grams peanut butter (creamy)
* Sweetener of choice, to taste
* 1 teaspoon chocolate chips

Step by Step Instructions

1. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, protein powder, peanut butter, and your chosen sweetener. Stir until smooth and creamy.
2. Adjust Consistency: Gradually add milk if needed to achieve your desired texture. The amount of milk will depend on the thickness of the yogurt and protein powder.
3. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips to complete your cookie dough.
4. Serve or Chill: Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for a cool treat later.

Quick Tips and Shortcuts

Use a pre flavored protein powder to skip extra sweetener and speed prep time. If your yogurt is very runny, add a touch more protein powder or chill briefly to thicken before folding in chips. Mini chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate melt less and keep a better bite. For portion control, spoon into small containers right away to grab and go. If you want a slightly softer spread, stir in a teaspoon of milk at a time until you hit the texture you like and see an easy variation in Chocolate Sprinkles Cookies for inspiration.

Storage and Meal Prep

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days for best texture. If it separates slightly, stir it back together before serving. Freeze in small portions for up to one month and thaw overnight in the fridge for a chilled snack. Label containers with the date so you use the freshest servings first.
