Ingredients
Plain Greek YogurtOpt for a thick, full-fat or 2% plain Greek yogurt for the best creamy base and texture, avoiding any added sugars.
Vanilla Protein PowderChoose a high-quality plant-based protein powder or plant-based vanilla protein powder that you enjoy the taste of, as it forms the bulk of the "dough."
Maple Syrup or HoneyA natural sweetener like pure maple syrup or raw honey adds a touch of sweetness without processed sugars; adjust to your preference.
Vanilla PowderPure vanilla powder is essential for that authentic cookie dough flavor profile, so don't skimp on this aromatic ingredient.
Mini Chocolate ChipsUse mini chocolate chips for even distribution throughout the dough, ensuring every bite has a delightful chocolatey burst.
Oat FlourFinely ground oat flour, or a blend of almond flour, provides structure and a more traditional cookie dough consistency without gluten.
Milk (Dairy or Plant-based)A splash of milk, dairy or unsweetened almond, helps achieve the perfect pliable dough consistency, adding moisture as needed.

Notes
Keep your Protein Cookie Dough Cups fresh by storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
These delightful cups are designed to be enjoyed chilled, so please do not reheat them as it will compromise their creamy texture.
Enhance your treat by serving these cool cookie dough cups with a sprinkle of sea salt or a side of fresh berries for added freshness.
A key chef's tip: When adjusting consistency in Step 3, slowly add milk until the dough is perfectly pliable for shaping, avoiding it being too sticky or dry.
