I’ve made this recipe every day for two weeks.

Cookie Dough 1

Would you like to eat a giant bowl of cookie dough? I mean it’s only a dream come true. What if you could have a huge serving of absolutely mouth-watering super addictive crazy indulgent I-dream-about-this-every-night cookie dough?

Um, yes please.

Cookie Dough 2

But I haven’t even gotten to the best part! It’s only 125 calories (!?!) and is packed with 20 gram of protein! I mark this amongst my greatest achievements. (This is resume fodder at its finest.)

College Counselor: “So Kelly, what did you do this summer?”

Me (*crying over the past tense reference to summer*): “It was life-changing. I re-launched my food blog and went on tour to London with my chorus. But while we’re hamming up the resume let’s say I also was knighted by the queen during a break in the tour, made healthy cookie dough, and became a unicorn.”

Passerby: “You made cookie dough healthy??!”

College Counselor: “…was it good?”

Me: “What else would the life-changing part be?”

This recipe has indeed changed my life. I made it for breakfast this morning. I made it for dessert yesterday. And the day before. I can’t even function with how much I love it.

I’m hooked. Please send help.

Yield: 1 serving
Ingredients
  • 1 scoop protein powder (My favorite is Sun Warrior Classic Vanilla!)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered peanut butter (or 1 tablespoon nut butter)
  • splash vanilla extract
  • 2-4 tablespoons almond milk
  • sweetener, to taste (such as stevia, depends if your protein powder is sweetened)
  • add-ins of your choice (My go-to is 1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut and ½ square chopped dark chocolate.)
Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, combine the protein powder and powdered peanut butter. Add in the vanilla extract and almond, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you've reached a cookie dough consistency (this will vary depending on the protein powder you use). Sweeten to taste if desired. Now add in your favorite cookie dough fillings! Roll into balls if you want or simply get out a fork and devour.
Notes

What would you add to this cookie dough?

My absolute favorite combo is a tablespoon of reduced fat unsweetened coconut with a half square chopped dark chocolate. What about you? Oats? Sprinkles? Caramel?? I want to try them all. Screen Shot 2015-08-17 at 1.09.34 PM

  4. Yum! This is a hit at our house! I'm especially excited for my high school athletes to have this to pop into their mouths before practice. Thank you!

  5. Oh my gosh Kelly yum!!! I am so making these next. I just made your protein bars that have a similar ingredient list to these and they are excellent!! I was worried they wouldn't turn out because I only have the natural flavor Sun Warrior but I added a bit more vanilla extract and they were fantastic. Thanks for the great recipe!!

  6. I just made two batches of this. The first I added 3 TB almond milk and it was pretty runny. 2nd I tried just 1 TB almond milk but it was too dry, so I added another and it was too wet. I'm hoping 1.5 TB will be the magic I need. I added chopped 100% cocoa, unsweetened coconut flakes, and some carob chips because I'm craving some sweet treats.

    • Hi Amy, those sound like amazing additions, I'm a huge fan of chocolate and coconut! I hope it turned out well :)

  7. I am very skeptical of "too good to be true" recipes. But. Oh my gosh. This recipe. Just made it; life changing. There is a time for sitting down with good-ol-regular-cookie-dough, but if you are like me and crave it every single day, this is the answer. And so simple! Usually these things require a trip to the store for ground flax seed or almond flour, but hot diggity, I had everything on hand. Absolutely checking out the rest of your recipes. <3 Thanks!

  8. Wow...these were so simple yet delicious! Definitely one of my new favorite macro-friendly recipes. I made these into tiny balls and then rolled them into coconut oil and cocoa :-P

  9. Pooh! I tried this and it was very runny :( Maybe it was the protein powder- I was really looking forward to it.

  11. Sembra fantastica!!! Solo una considerazione: è possibile sostituire polvere di arachidi con cacao magro? Grazie infinite!

  12. Hi I'm not a crazy fan of Pb2. Any suggestions on substitutions. I'm so tired of making protien shakes as I don't always have time and in the winter who wants a cold shake for breakfast. I have been looking for a recipe to still get my protien shake in without having to make a shake.

  13. Hi! Instead of using 1T of nut butter, my local GNC carries protein infused nut butters (brand is fluffbutter and another is nuts n' more). Currently I have smores and birthday cake, I definitely will be trying both inplace of the nut butter and add-ons :)

  14. I tried this and it was very, very runny. Any ideas what could have went wrong? Did the recipe exactly. :/
