Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • 1 scoop vanilla whey protein
  • 1 tbsp almond butter
  • 1 –2 tbsp almond flour
  • Sugar-free chocolate chips
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Add the cottage cheese to a blender or food processor and blend on high until completely smooth, stopping once or twice to scrape down the sides. It should look creamy and uniform with no visible curds.
  2. Transfer the blended cottage cheese to a mixing bowl. Sprinkle the vanilla protein powder over the top and gently fold it in using a spatula or spoon. Mix slowly until the powder is fully incorporated and the mixture begins to thicken into a dough-like texture.
  3. Add the almond butter to the bowl and stir it in until fully combined. This adds richness and helps the dough mimic classic cookie dough flavor and consistency.
  4. If you prefer a thicker, firmer dough, add 1–2 tablespoons of almond flour and fold it in. The dough will tighten and become more scoopable as the almond flour absorbs moisture.
  5. Sprinkle the chocolate chips into the bowl and fold them gently throughout the dough so they’re evenly distributed without overmixing.
  6. Place the dough in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to firm up and develop its classic cookie dough texture. Enjoy right away if you prefer it soft, or store it in the fridge for later.
