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

  1. Place the cottage cheese in a blender and process until completely smooth and creamy.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar, then whisk in the blended cottage cheese, egg, and vanilla.
  3. Gradually fold in the flour and baking soda until a soft dough is created, then stir in the chocolate chips.
  4. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least one hour to prevent spreading during baking.
  5. 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.
