Thin yogurt = flat cookies.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C)<\/strong>. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, whisk Greek yogurt, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in protein powder, oat flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. If batter feels too thick, add a splash of milk. Fold in chocolate chips or other add-ins. Drop spoonfuls onto the baking sheet and flatten slightly. Let cool for a few minutes\u2014they firm up as they cool. Because flexibility keeps baking fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n IMO, chocolate chip + vanilla protein is undefeated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do these taste like normal cookies?<\/strong> How much protein per cookie?<\/strong> Do they need refrigeration?<\/strong> Can I freeze them?<\/strong> Why are mine dense?<\/strong> Are they good for kids?<\/strong> These Protein Greek Yogurt Cookies<\/strong> prove that dessert and protein goals can actually be friends.
