Gooey Chocolate Chunk Cookies - Results and Recipe

I'm pleased to announced that after some experimentation, I found a high-protein chocolate chunk cookie recipe that's got a dense, rich texture to it! Since the OG recipe is available on YouTube, I will post my edit here as well.

(Recipe makes 5 standard-size cookies, but can easily be scaled):

(Wet ingredients):

Nonfat plain Greek Yogurt: 50 grams

Canned pure pumpkin: 75 grams

Light margarine: 50 grams

Vanilla extract: 5 grams

Sugar-free maple syrup: 50 grams

(Dry ingredients):

Brown sugar substitute: 50 grams

White sugar substitute: 12 grams

Vanilla casein protein: 75 grams

Quick oats, blended: 35 grams

Coconut flour: 12 grams

Baking powder: 1.5 grams

Baking soda: 1 gram

Salt: 1 gram

Xanthan gum (optional): 1 gram

(Mix-ins):

Chocolate chunks: 32 grams (I used Gatsby, which is reflected in the macros)

Mix together dry ingredients
Mix together wet ingredients and microwave at like 40-50% power until the light margarine is soft (slowly because margarine gets a little freaky when it melts)
Add wet ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until part-combined
Add chopped chocolate and mix until combined fully
Refrigerate dough for 15 minutes, preheating oven accordingly at 350 degrees
Divide dough into 5 balls, flatten them slightly into a tall circular shape, and bake at 350 for 14 minutes
When done baking, press down on the cookies to flatten them out (makes them turn out more dense)
Enjoy cookies once cooled enough to eat or after cooling to room temperature, depending on personal preference

The macros for the full recipe (5 cookies) are:

704 calories

65 grams protein

72 grams carbs (not net)

23 grams fat

The macros for each cookie are:

141 calories:

13 grams protein

14.5 grams carbs (again not net)

4.5 grams fat

I'd say feel free to substitute more of the oats with casein for a higher-protein cookie (maybe make it 25 and 85 grams respectively). I might experiment with that later on since 13 grams of protein for 141 calories isn't the *best*. Though I'd say these are some of the best-tasting protein cookies I've had!
