Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I use flavored yogurt?
Yes, but it will alter the flavor. Vanilla or plain works best to let the cookie dough taste shine.
Can I freeze it?
You can, but it changes texture. For a frozen treat, freeze in a silicone mold for a frozen yogurt “bites” vibe.
Is this keto-friendly?
Not exactly, but you can use low-carb chocolate chips and unsweetened almond butter to make it lower in carbs.
