Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt plain full fat
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup whey protein isolate vanilla or chocolate
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chunks

Method
 

  1. **Cream.** Beat butter, Greek yogurt, and brown sugar with a mixer for 2 minutes until fluffy.
  2. **Wet.** Add egg and vanilla. Beat until fully combined.
  3. **Dry.** In a separate bowl, whisk flour, protein powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. **Combine.** Add dry to wet and stir until just combined. Fold in chocolate chunks.
  5. **Chill.** Chill dough 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 350F and line a sheet pan with parchment.
  6. **Bake.** Scoop 12 cookies onto the pan. Bake 9 to 11 minutes until edges are set but centers look soft. Cool 5 minutes on pan.

Notes

Use whey isolate protein powder, not casein or plant based. Casein cookies turn rubbery and plant based taste gritty. Choose vanilla or chocolate flavored protein. Unflavored works but cookies taste flat. Store in an airtight container at room temp for 3 days, or in the fridge for 1 week.
