# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You get all the nostalgic joy of eating cookie dough by the spoonful with zero raw egg anxiety
  • The protein from Greek yogurt actually keeps you full, unlike traditional dough that leaves you reaching for more
  • Takes literally ten minutes to throw together, perfect when that sweet tooth hits hard
02 -
  • The dough will firm up considerably in the fridge, so if you plan to serve it as a dip, let it sit out for 5 minutes before serving
  • Almond flour can sometimes clump, so make sure to really mash it against the bowl sides to break up any stubborn bits
  • If your yogurt is especially thin, you may need to add another tablespoon of almond flour to reach that perfect dough consistency
03 -
  • Double the batch and keep one container for yourself and one for sharing, because this disappears fast
  • The type of honey you use matters, darker honey like buckwheat adds a lovely depth that pairs beautifully with dark chocolate
