Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Add-ins
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended, creating a creamy base for your cookie dough.
- Add dry ingredients: Into the wet mixture, fold in the rolled oats, almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, chocolate chips, and chopped nuts. Mix gently to combine, being careful not to overmix, which can affect the texture.
- Portion the dough: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, place spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave enough space between each cookie to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake the cookies: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cookies turn a light golden brown and feel slightly firm to the touch but remain soft inside.
- Cool and serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your soft, protein-rich cookies!
Notes
- For chewier cookies, avoid overbaking and remove them as soon as they are set.
- Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
- You can swap chocolate chips for dried fruit if preferred for a different flavor profile.
