Description
Bake delicious cottage cheese chocolate chip cookies with this simple recipe. Enjoy a moist, flavorful treat that’s perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
1 cup of cottage cheese (homemade or store-bought)
3/4 cup of granulated sugar
1/2 cup of brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened (or coconut oil for a dairy-free option)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
2 cups of all-purpose flour (or almond flour for a gluten-free alternative)
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips (or dark chocolate for a richer flavor)
Optional: 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans) for added texture
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until creamy and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix on low speed until fully incorporated.
Gently fold in the cottage cheese with a spatula.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts (if using).
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough on a lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Cottage cheese chocolate chip cookies are a delicious treat that enhance both nutritional profile and texture, resulting in a moist, chewy cookie packed with protein.
