High Protein Edible Cookie Dough

This Edible Cookie Dough is the perfect high protein snack or dessert! It’s a perfect option for when you have a sweet craving, but still want something that is healthy and will keep you satisfied. I’ve been making this recipe for over a year and still love it!

I always try to focus on eating a source of protein at every meal, even my snacks! I have found that eating high protein meals keeps me fuller for longer, reduces cravings, and helps me look my best. But, I also love food that TASTES GOOD!

I have found that the easiest way to consistently eat healthy is to make healthier versions of the foods that I love so I can eat them everyday and still feel good and hit my goals. Of course I still eat ‘unhealthy’ food once in a while, but I really don’t crave it anymore!

This high protein cookie dough ACTUALLY tastes good, has 30g of protein, and the delicious thick cookie dough texture that I love. The key to making perfect high protein cookie dough is to use a good quality protein powder, it makes all the difference in the taste and texture!

MY FAVORITE PROTEIN POWDER

I tried soooo many protein powder brands over the years searching for my favorite. Some had a gross aftertaste, some were full of questionable ingredients, and some made me feel sick and bloated. I finally found Promix and have never looked back.

Promix uses grass-fed whey and only pure, natural ingredients. It’s made in the USA and doesn’t contain any artificial sweeteners, which I find are the culprit to feeling bloated. They sweeten their protein powder with coconut sugar and use justttt the right amount so its not too sweet but still tastes great.

Each serving has 25 grams of protein, so I add it to my oatmeal, smoothies, pancakes, baking, you name it! They also have a few delicious flavors to choose from – my favorite is the Vanilla Whey Protein Powder because I find it to be the most versatile, but I also love their French Vanilla Vegan Protein Powder for a plant based option!

I have been a Promix partner for over a year now and I truly stand by their products and brand! If you want to try their products, you can use the discount code ‘CLAIRE’ at checkout for 15% off.

INGREDIENTS FOR HIGH PROTEIN COOKIE DOUGH

• Oats: I make my own oat flour by blending oats into a flour texture. I love using oat flour because it is high in fiber!
• Protein powder: Adding protein powder gives this cookie dough a boost of protein and adds a sweet vanilla flavor. This is my favorite whey protein powder, and my favorite vegan protein powder! Use the code ‘CLAIRE’ at checkout for 15% off.
• Sweetener: You can use maple syrup, honey, or a sugar-free alternative like monk fruit or stevia!
• Salt: Adding a pinch of salt brings out the sweetness for the perfect cookie dough taste!
• Baking soda: It sounds crazy but adding a pinch of baking soda gives it the true cookie dough flavor. Try it out!
• Milk or water: You can use any type of milk you like, including plant-based milk! You can also use water, the texture will just be a little less creamy.
• Chocolate chips: You can’t have cookie dough without chocolate chips! I like to use dark chocolate chips, but you can also use low-sugar chocolate chips for a lower calorie option.
