Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup vanilla whey protein powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup oat flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips
- 2 cups greek yogurt (plain, non-fat)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, oat flour, vanilla whey protein powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, beat together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until combined.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Stir in the dark chocolate chips.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cookies are cooling, prepare the ice cream filling by mixing the Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, and honey in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
Place the mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally, until firm but spreadable.
Once the ice cream filling is ready, take two cookies and spread a generous amount of the protein ice cream onto the bottom of one cookie. Top with the second cookie to create a sandwich. Repeat with remaining cookies.
Wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap and freeze until ready to serve, or enjoy immediately for a softer consistency.
