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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, oat flour, vanilla whey protein powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, beat together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Stir in the dark chocolate chips.

Step 6

Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Place the mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally, until firm but spreadable.

Step 10

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.

Step 11

Wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap and freeze until ready to serve, or enjoy immediately for a softer consistency.
