How to Make Healthy Triple Chocolate Fudge Cookies

Step 1 — Preheat Oven

Preheat to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2 — Mix Wet Ingredients

In a bowl, whisk together:

  • Greek yogurt
  • peanut butter
  • honey
  • egg
  • vanilla

until smooth, thick, and creamy.

Step 3 — Add Dry Ingredients

Add in:

  • oat flour
  • cocoa powder
  • baking powder

Mix until a thick cookie batter forms.

If it feels too thick → add 1 tbsp milk
If it feels too thin → add 1 tbsp oat flour

Step 4 — Fold in Triple Chocolate

Gently fold in:

  • mini chocolate chips
  • chopped dark chocolate

Save some for topping!

Step 5 — Shape Cookies

Scoop dough into balls (2 tbsp each).
Flatten gently — they don’t spread much.

Press extra chocolate on top.
(This makes them look bakery-style.)

Step 6 — Bake

Bake 10–12 minutes, until edges set but centers still soft.

Do NOT overbake — fudgy cookies depend on this!

Step 7 — Cool Slightly

Let cool 10 minutes.
They firm up as they cool.

Reward yourself with the warmest, meltiest one.

What to Serve With These Cookies

These pair beautifully with:

  • coffee
  • cold milk
  • hot cocoa
  • a scoop of vanilla yogurt
  • fresh strawberries

Tips for Perfect Cookies

  • Full-fat yogurt = best texture
  • Do NOT overbake — you want fudgy centers
  • Chill dough 10 minutes for thicker cookies
  • Press chocolate on top before baking
  • Add a pinch of salt to enhance chocolate flavor
  • Add ½ tsp espresso powder for deeper cocoa taste
