Greek Yogurt Cookie Dough

I love making this Greek Yogurt Cookie Dough when I want a creamy, sweet treat that feels lighter yet still indulgent. I combine protein-rich Greek yogurt with classic cookie dough flavors to create a smooth, spoonable dessert that satisfies my sweet cravings.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I appreciate how this version delivers that nostalgic cookie dough flavor with a softer, creamier texture. The Greek yogurt adds richness and a subtle tang that balances the sweetness beautifully.

I also enjoy how quick and simple it is to prepare. I can mix everything in just a few minutes without turning on the oven. It works perfectly as a snack, dessert, or even a healthier sweet option when I want something comforting.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons peanut butter or almond butter
2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup almond flour or oat flour
2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional for deeper flavor)
pinch of salt

Directions

I start by adding the Greek yogurt, peanut butter or almond butter, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract to a mixing bowl. I stir until smooth and well combined.

I mix in the almond flour or oat flour, brown sugar if using, and a pinch of salt. I stir until the mixture thickens slightly and resembles cookie dough consistency.

I fold in the mini chocolate chips and give everything one final mix.

I enjoy it immediately or refrigerate it for about 20–30 minutes if I prefer a firmer texture.

Servings and Timing

This recipe makes about 2 servings.

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Chill Time: 20 minutes (optional)
Total Time: 5–25 minutes

Variations

I sometimes add a spoonful of cocoa powder for a chocolate version. When I want extra crunch, I mix in chopped nuts or shredded coconut.

For a sweeter flavor, I stir in a few white chocolate chips. If I prefer a dairy-free option, I use a plant-based yogurt alternative.

storage/reheating

I store the cookie dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Since it is meant to be enjoyed chilled, I do not reheat it. I simply stir before serving if any separation occurs.
