Ingredients

Cookie Dough Squares
  • 1/4 cup nut butter (56g) I used American Dream
  • 1/4 cup cold light butter (56g) or more nut butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar substitute (96g) I used Truvia
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (90g) or oat flour or gluten-free flour
  • 2 scoops vanilla protein powder (62g) I used PEScience
  • 1/8 tsp salt
Chocolate Topping
  • 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (80g)
  • 1 tsp coconut oil (5g)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. If you wish to heat treat the raw flour to ensure food safety, follow the instructions in the Notes for doing that first. I usually use oat flour so don't worry about it!
  2. Place the nut butter, butter, brown sugar and vanilla into a mixing bowl and beat until combined.
  3. Then add the flour, protein powder and salt and mix on low until all ingredients are incorporated.
  4. Line a small pan with two pieces of parchment paper (I used a 10-inch bread pan). Add the cookie dough and press down evenly. You can do this with your hands or a piece of parchment paper.
For the Chocolate Topping:
  1. To make the chocolate topping, place the chocolate chips and coconut oil into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  2. Pour the chocolate over the top of the dough, spreading so that it covers the dough evenly.
  3. Refrigerate or freeze for 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has set. Sprinkle with flake salt if desired.
  4. Cut into 8 large pieces or 15 mini pieces and enjoy! Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.

Notes

  • Optional step: To heat treat the flour, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the flour onto a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes, then set aside to cool completely.
  • To make gluten-free: sub normal all-purpose flour for Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 Gluten Free Baking Flour.
  • To make dairy-free: use dairy-free butter, a plant-based protein powder and dairy-free chocolate chips.
  • To maximize the shelf life of the cookie dough squares, place it in a covered airtight container or cover with plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out.• Cookie dough squares in the fridge will last 1.5-2 weeks• Cookie dough squares in the freezer will last 6 months
