Ingredients

1 cup 4% milkfat cottage cheese I used whole milk Good Culture cottage cheese
¼ cup pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup almond flour
2 Tablespoons melted coconut oil
½ cup vanilla protein powder I used Nuzest
½ cup chocolate chips plus more for topping

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a blender, add the cottage cheese, maple syrup and vanilla. Blend on high until smooth.
In a mixing bowl combine almond flour and protein powder. Add the coconut oil and cottage cheese mixture. Stir until combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Scoop dough onto a prepared baking sheet using a medium cookie scoop and use your hands to flatten the cookies just a bit so they’re in a cookie shape. You can also roll the cookie dough into a ball and then use your hand to flatter for a more uniform shape. Add a couple more chocolate chips on top of each cookie.
Bake for about 15-16 minutes or until the bottom of the cookies are golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet then transfer to wire cooling racks to cool completely. Enjoy!
