Ingredients
- Cottage Cheese – The secret ingredient that makes this dough creamy, high in protein, and ultra-smooth.
- Nut Butter (Almond, Peanut, or Cashew) – Adds richness and a classic cookie dough taste.
- Oat Flour – Gives the dough its structure while keeping it gluten-free.
- Maple Syrup or Honey – Natural sweetness that enhances the flavor.
- Vanilla Extract – Adds that warm, classic cookie dough aroma.
- Mini Chocolate Chips – For the perfect amount of chocolatey goodness in every bite.
- Salt – A pinch to balance the flavors and enhance the sweetness.
Instructions
In a blender or food processor, blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth. This step ensures a creamy, lump-free cookie dough.
Transfer the blended cottage cheese to a bowl and stir in the nut butter, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Gradually add the oat flour, stirring until it forms a thick, dough-like consistency.
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.
For the best texture, refrigerate the dough for about 20-30 minutes before serving. Enjoy by the spoonful or use as a spread!
