Ingredients for Cottage Cheese Cookie Dough

  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • 2 tablespoons almond or peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup oat flour
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • ¼ cup small chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Blend Cottage Cheese: Blend the cottage cheese in a blender until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring a silky base for your cookie dough.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: Transfer the blended cottage cheese to a bowl. Add the almond or peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly until well combined.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the oat flour and cinnamon until the dough thickens to a cookie dough consistency.
  4. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the small chocolate chips into the dough to evenly distribute the sweetness and texture.
  5. Serve: Spoon the cookie dough into a bowl, sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top if desired, and enjoy immediately. Optionally, refrigerate leftovers for up to three days for an even better flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For an ultra-smooth texture, blend the cottage cheese until curds are completely gone.
  • It is safe to eat raw due to the oat flour; alternatively, almond or coconut flour can be used.
  • To thicken the dough, add an extra tablespoon of oat flour.
  • For a nut-free version, substitute nut butter with sunflower seed butter.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge; the dough tastes better chilled and can be kept for up to three days.
  • Eat it straight from the fridge or let it warm slightly for a softer consistency.
