Tips & Variations

• For a nut-free version, substitute the nut butter with sunflower seed butter or tahini.
• Feel free to mix in dried fruit or chopped nuts for added texture.
• Use flavored protein powder to customize the taste according to your preference.
• To make the cookies sweeter, adjust the amount of maple syrup or honey to taste.

Storage

Store the cookies in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. Thaw slightly at room temperature before eating for the best texture. These do not keep well at room temperature due to their yogurt content.

FAQs

Can I bake these cookies instead of freezing them?

These cookies are designed to be no-bake and frozen for firmness. Baking would change their texture and may dry them out, so freezing is recommended.

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Greek yogurt is preferred for its thick texture, which helps the cookies hold together well. Using regular yogurt may result in a runnier mixture and softer cookies.
