Guilt-Free Indulgence: The BEST Protein Greek Yogurt Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, vanilla protein powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. 3

   In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, maple syrup (or honey), unsweetened applesauce, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. 4

   Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. 5

   Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
6. 6

   Using a cookie scoop (about 1.5 tablespoons), drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Lightly flatten each dough ball and press a few extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
7. 7

   Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are just set.
8. 8

   Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
