This Greek yogurt cookie dough satisfies my sweet tooth without the guilt of traditional raw cookie dough. I created this recipe while searching for protein-rich treats that still taste indulgent. The combination of creamy Greek yogurt, hearty oats, and rich peanut butter creates a dough that's both nutritious and delicious.
I first developed this recipe during a late night craving when I wanted something sweet but didn't want to derail my healthy eating goals. Now it's become my go-to treat that I don't feel guilty enjoying after a workout or as an afternoon pick-me-up.
