Description
Creamy, satisfying cookie dough that comes together in minutes. Built with protein from cottage cheese and sweetened with a maple-style syrup that won't send your energy on a rollercoaster.
Ingredients
- ½ cup (120g) cottage cheese, 4% milkfat
- 3 Tbsp maple-style syrup (I use Wholesome Yum allulose/monk fruit blend)
- 1½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup (72g) almond flour
- 2 Tbsp (30g) unflavored protein powder (I use Be Well by Kelly)
- ¼ cup chocolate chips (I use Guittard coconut sugar sweetened)
- Dash of cinnamon
- Dash of salt
Instructions
- Add the cottage cheese, maple-style syrup, and vanilla to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth with no lumps.
- Transfer to a bowl and stir in the almond flour, protein powder, cinnamon, and salt until a thick dough forms.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Enjoy right away or refrigerate 20 to 30 minutes for a thicker, scoopable texture.
Notes
Store in the fridge up to 1 week in an airtight container or scoop into balls and freeze on a sheet pan then transfer to a bag and freeze up to 3 months.
Use unflavored protein powder for the cleanest cookie dough flavor. If you use flavored, make sure it's one you love.
