Instructions
0 Pre-heat oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit & prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. 1 Mix the wet ingredients. In the bowl of a small food processor or blender add cottage cheese, maple syrup & vanilla extract and blend until smooth. 2 Add the dry ingredients. Using a silicone spatula or large spoon, transfer the batter into a large mixing bowl. Add almond flour, protein powder & a pinch of sea salt if desired and mix until well combined. If the batter is a bit runny, you can fix this by adding additional almond flour and/or protein powder. 3 Add chocolate chips. Fold in the chocolate chips using the same spatula or spoon. 4 Scoop cookies. Using a cookie scoop, scoop the dough into 6 cookie dough balls. Place cottage cheese cookie dough on a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Gently press each cookie dough ball down with your hand to flatten them into cookie shapes as these cookies will not spread while baking like regular cookies would. 5 Bake. Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes until the tops are golden brown. The cookies will be very soft to the touch, it's best to allow them to come to room temperature before enjoying.View original recipe
