Thank you for being here — truly. These High Protein Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Chocolate Fudge Cookies were born on one of those afternoons when peanut butter felt essential, chocolate was non-negotiable, and I wanted a cookie that didn’t disappear into thin air hunger-wise an hour later.
Greek yogurt keeps the dough soft and tender, peanut butter brings richness, and cocoa plus chocolate chips give you that deep, fudgy cookie experience. These are the cookies I keep in the fridge for busy days, coffee breaks, and quiet late-night cravings.
