Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup low-fat or full-fat cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup almond flour (or oat flour)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
- 1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips
- A pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Blend the Base. Place the cottage cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla extract into a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend on high for about 30 to 60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. You want to ensure there are no lumps left from the cottage cheese curds.
- Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients. Transfer the smooth cottage cheese mixture into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Gradually stir in the almond flour, protein powder, and a pinch of sea salt. Use a spatula to fold the ingredients together until a thick, dough-like consistency forms. If the mixture feels too wet, add an extra tablespoon of almond flour.
- Step 3: Fold and Chill. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips using a spoon or spatula. You can enjoy the cookie dough immediately, but for the best texture, place it in the refrigerator for at least 15 to 20 minutes. This allows the flour to hydrate and the dough to firm up into a scoopable treat.
