All the goodness of chocolate chip cookies plus protein, fiber, and vitamins. Even my picky kids love them. I keep them in the freezer and pop a couple into lunches for a nutritious treat.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • cup soy protein powder (such as MLO®)

  • cup oat flour

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 1 cup brown sugar

  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt

  • ½ cup butter, softened

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 2 tablespoons milk, or more as needed

  • 2 cups chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Combine all-purpose flour, soy protein powder, and oat flour together in a bowl.

  2. Beat white sugar, brown sugar, yogurt, and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract. Stir in flour mixture. Mix in milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until batter is thick and smooth. Fold in chocolate chips.

  3. Roll batter into 1-inch balls with your hands. Arrange on a baking sheet. Transfer to the freezer and chill until firm, about 1 hour, or in the refrigerator, 2 to 3 hours.

Cook's Notes:

Substitute gluten-free flour for all-purpose flour for a gluten-free version.

Any protein powder will work. I like MLO(R) because of the extra vitamins and minerals.

Editor's Note:

There is a potential risk of foodborne illness from the consumption of raw flour.
