Weights are estimates. Together, the ingredients weigh about 635 g before cooking, which is about 105 g per serving.
Steps
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180 °C) (175°C (350 °F)). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, pumpkin purée, monkfruit sweetener, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
Add the peanut-butter powder, coconut flour, protein powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Mix until a uniform, thick cookie dough forms.
Using a small ice-cream scoop, portion the dough into six even balls on the prepared baking sheet. Leave space between them and gently shape them if needed. A mini scoop helps produce evenly sized cookies.
Bake for about 12 minutes, until the cookies are set. Do not overbake; they should remain soft and fudgy rather than dry.
Allow the cookies to cool briefly on the baking sheet while preparing the frosting.
In a clean bowl, mix the peanut-butter powder, monkfruit sweetener, and protein powder for the frosting.
Gradually add the milk, stirring after each addition, until the frosting reaches a smooth, spreadable consistency. Add the milk slowly because it is easy to add more but impossible to remove.
Spread or pipe the frosting over the cooled cookies. If desired, top each cookie with a mini peanut-butter cup, then serve.
