  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  2. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently stir in the mini chocolate chips ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture without overmixing.
  3. Portion Mixture: Spoon the cookie dough mixture evenly into cupcake liners or small cups for easy freezing and serving.

Notes

  • For a lower sugar option, substitute maple syrup with a natural sugar alternative or omit.
  • Use dairy or plant-based Greek yogurt depending on dietary preferences.
  • Protein powder type can be whey, plant-based, or collagen depending on preference.
  • Store leftover cookie dough cups in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
  • Allow cookie dough cups to soften at room temperature for a few minutes if too firm before serving.
