Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese with egg and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Transfer blended cottage cheese to a mixing bowl, then add granular sweetener, almond flour, protein powder and a pinch of salt.
  4. Stir until the dry ingredients are fully incorporated and the dough reaches a smooth consistency.
    Depending on the protein powder choice, you may need to fix the consistency of the dough with a splash of milk if thick, or with more almond flour if sticky. Adjust to your own needs.
  5. Fold through chocolate chips.
  6. Scoop out some of dough and shape 9 cookies. Transfer cottage cheese cookies to a parchment paper covered baking sheet, spacing them apart.
  7. Bake cookies in hot oven for 10 to 12 minutes.
  8. Let cottage cheese cookies cool over a wire rack before serving.

Notes

  • This recipe uses vanilla protein powder, but you can replace it with the flavor you like the most. Depending on the protein powder choice (whey, casein, or vegan), you may need to fix the consistency of the dough with a splash of milk if thick, or with more almond flour if sticky.
  • Add half teaspoon of vanilla extract if you are using unflavored protein powder, or if you make cookies without protein powder.
