Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough
  • 1/2 cup Full-Fat Cottage Cheese 120g, blended until smooth
  • 1/4 cup Light Brown Sugar 50g, packed
  • 1/4 cup Melted Coconut Oil 60ml
  • 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract 5ml
  • 1 cup Oat Flour 120g
  • 1 scoop Vanilla Whey-Casein Blend Protein Powder 30g
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda 2.5g
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Powder 2.5g
  • 1/4 tsp Sea Salt 1.5g
  • 1/3 cup Dark Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips 60g

Equipment

  • 1 Food Processor or Immersion Blender Essential for blending the cottage cheese until completely smooth.
  • 1 Heavy-Duty Baking Sheet Lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Method
 

Making the Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, melted coconut oil, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend on high until completely smooth with no curds remaining.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, vanilla protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt.
  3. Pour the blended cottage cheese mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold with a silicone spatula until just combined. Fold in the dark semi-sweet chocolate chips. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Scoop 1.5-tablespoon-sized mounds onto the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten the tops. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden-brown and tops are slightly cracked. Let cool on the pan for 10 minutes before serving.
