Description
A high-protein twist on classic chocolate chip cookies, using blended cottage cheese for added protein while maintaining a soft, chewy texture.
Ingredients
- 1 cup blended cottage cheese
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Place the cottage cheese in a blender and process until completely smooth and creamy.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar, then whisk in the blended cottage cheese, egg, and vanilla.
- Gradually fold in the flour and baking soda until a soft dough is created, then stir in the chocolate chips.
- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least one hour to prevent spreading during baking.
- Scoop the dough onto a prepared sheet and bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes until the edges are just set.
Notes
- Ensure the cottage cheese is fully blended to avoid lumps in the dough.
- Chilling is essential for the cookies to hold their shape.
