Cottage Cheese Cookies (High-protein)
Cottage cheese cookies are a type of cookie that includes cottage cheese as one of the main ingredients, along with chocolate. These cookies offer a unique twist on traditional chocolate cookies, they appear to be on the healthier side, incorporating protein powder and using honey as a sweetener.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
- ½ cup chocolate protein powder
- ¼ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, honey, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Gradually add the chocolate protein powder to the wet ingredients. Stir until the protein powder is fully incorporated and the mixture forms a smooth batter. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers to your desired thickness, as these cookies won't spread much during baking.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until they are set and slightly golden around the edges. Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
