Ingredients
- 1 cup 4% milkfat cottage cheese
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup (106 grams) lightly packed almond flour
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- ½ cup (53 grams) vanilla protein powder
- ½ cup chocolate chips, plus more for topping
Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Baking Sheet
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
This will prevent the cookies from sticking and make for easier cleanup.
Step 2: Blend the Wet Ingredients
In a blender, add the cottage cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring that all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Step 3: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and protein powder.
Add the melted coconut oil and the blended cottage cheese mixture.
Stir everything together until well combined and a dough forms.
Step 4: Add Chocolate Chips
Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
Step 5: Shape the Cookies
Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet using a medium cookie scoop.
Use your hands to flatten the cookies slightly to form a more uniform shape.
Alternatively, you can roll the dough into a ball and then flatten it.
For an extra touch, add a couple more chocolate chips on top of each cookie before baking.
Step 6: Bake and Cool
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 15-16 minutes or until the bottom edges are golden brown.
Once done, allow them to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to wire cooling racks to cool completely.
