These healthy protein chocolate chip cookies combine Greek yogurt and almond flour for a soft, chewy, and guilt-free snack that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups almond flour (about 192 grams)
  • ½ cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt (125 grams)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • ¼ cup maple syrup (60 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup chocolate chips (about 130 grams)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together ½ cup Greek yogurt, 1 large egg, ¼ cup maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, stir together 2 cups almond flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry mix into the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined.
  5. Fold in ¾ cup chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  6. Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop dough onto the baking sheet about 2 inches apart, making roughly 18 cookies.
  7. Bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
  8. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

If the dough feels too wet, chill it in the fridge for 10 minutes before scooping to help with shaping and prevent spreading. Avoid overbaking to keep cookies soft and chewy. Use full-fat Greek yogurt for best moisture and texture. Parchment paper or silicone mats help prevent sticking.
