Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 Tablespoon natural peanut butter
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup fine almond flour
- ¼ cup vanilla protein powder (e.g., Nuzest)
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Blend wet ingredients. In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Mix dry and wet ingredients. Transfer the blended mixture into a mixing bowl. Add the almond flour, vanilla protein powder, and natural peanut butter to the bowl. Stir well until all dry and wet ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
- Add chocolate chips. Gently fold in the chocolate chips into the dough, distributing them evenly without overmixing to maintain the dough’s texture.
- Store properly. Place the cookie dough in an airtight container and refrigerate. Chill for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld and for a firmer texture before serving.

- Substitute chocolate chips with chopped nuts or dried fruit if desired.

- Store refrigerated and consume within 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
- Use natural peanut butter without added sugars or oils for the healthiest option.
