Ingredients

  • 1 container cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (or powdered sugar replacement)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • Chocolate chips

Step 1: Blend the Base Mixture

Start by adding one container of cottage cheese to a blender.

Next, add about 1/2 cup of powdered sugar or a powdered sugar replacement, such as monk fruit.

Pour in a big splash of vanilla extract, approximately 2 teaspoons.

Blend the mixture until smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides as needed to ensure everything is well combined.

Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients

Once the cottage cheese mixture is smooth, pour it into a large bowl.

Add 2/3 cup of vanilla protein powder to the bowl, followed by 1 cup of almond flour.

Stir everything together until well combined, making sure to mix thoroughly.

Step 3: Ensure a Smooth Texture

If you notice any clumps from the almond flour, take a moment to stir them out until the mixture is smooth and uniform.

This will help achieve the best texture for your cookie dough.

Step 4: Add Chocolate Chips

Now, add chocolate chips to the mixture and gently mix until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

This will give your cookie dough a delicious chocolatey flavor in every bite.

Step 5: Portion and Store the Cookie Dough

Transfer the cookie dough into glass dishes for easy portioning.

Use a cookie scooper to add the dough to the containers, filling them as desired.

If you want to save some for later, consider freezing some portions or storing them in the fridge for snacking throughout the week.

Step 6: Seal and Enjoy

Seal the containers with lids for storage.

Whenever you have a sweet tooth, enjoy the cookie dough straight from the fridge.

It’s a delicious and satisfying treat!
