Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 8 ounces cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour (or oat flour)
- 1/3 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Blend Wet Ingredients: Blend cottage cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a food processor or blender until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Transfer the blended cottage cheese mixture into a large mixing bowl. Stir in the almond flour and vanilla protein powder until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough mixture.
- Serve or Chill: The cookie dough can be served immediately for a soft texture or chilled in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to firm up before enjoying.
Notes
- Use almond flour or oat flour as a gluten-free option.
- Maple syrup provides natural sweetness, but adjust to taste if desired.
- Choose your preferred vanilla protein powder—whey, plant-based, or collagen-based.
- Chilling the dough helps it firm up for a better texture, but it is safe to eat raw immediately after preparation.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
