  • Total Time: 24 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1 stick unsalted butter (browned or melted)
  • ⅔ cup coconut sugar
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups gluten free flour
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp sea salt

Add-ins

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
  2. Combine Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, add the melted or browned butter and coconut sugar, stirring until thoroughly combined for a smooth base.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Incorporate the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and egg into the butter and sugar mixture, stirring well to create a creamy consistency.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix in the gluten free flour, vanilla protein powder, baking soda, and sea salt until the dough resembles traditional cookie dough with a consistent texture.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the dark chocolate chips into the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
  6. Portion Dough: Use a cookie scoop to form balls of dough and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake: Bake the cookies for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the edges turn just barely light brown, ensuring a chewy center.
  8. Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the pan for 15 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack or plate.

Notes

  • For best flavor, brown the butter before mixing to add a nutty richness to the cookies.
  • Ensure the Greek yogurt is at room temperature to blend smoothly with other wet ingredients.
  • Using gluten free flour makes this recipe suitable for gluten-sensitive individuals.
  • Do not overbake the cookies to keep them soft and chewy.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
