Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup vanilla whey protein powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1/4 tsp salt.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, cream 6 tbsp softened unsalted butter with 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Beat in 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/2 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt, and 1 large egg until smooth and well combined.
  4. Step 4: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Fold in 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  5. Step 5: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set and lightly golden but centers remain soft.
  6. Step 6: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
