I remember as a child how I loved when my mother would allow me to have a spoon or two of that delicious chocolate chip cookie dough she was making. Oh, how good that was. I remember asking my mother why we were actually baking it. I was just so much tastier raw!

Unlike my mother’s old recipe though, you can eat the whole thing without feeling guilty. Only healthy ingredients here, as always.

Ingredients for Edible Protein Powder Cookie Dough

Almond Flour. This type of flour has a neutral taste, which is very similar to traditional wheat flour. For a fluffier texture, pulse the almond flour in a blender for a few seconds, as most almond flours have a “rough” texture.
Vanilla Whey Protein Powder. Altgough texture might differ slightly from brand to brand, any whey powder will do for this recipe, use what you have.
Grass Fed Butter. Could be replaced with either regular gutter, ghee or coconut oil + pinch of salt. (Same amount)
Greek Yogurt. Could be replaced with the same amount of mashed banana or applesauce.
Dark Chocolate Chips. Any type of chocolate chips will do. Again, use what you have. For a low-carb version, use sugar-free chocolate chips.

How to Make Edible Protein Cookie Dough

This recipe is pretty simple, simply mix almond flour, vanilla whey protein powder, greek yogurt, butter and stir until well combined, then fold in the chocolate chips. This recipe will give you a relatively thick cookie dough, so if you’d like it to be a little bit softer, just add a tablespoon or two of greek yogurt.
