Cottage Cheese Chocolate Chip Cookies – Healthy, Low-Calorie and No Refined Sugar
These Cottage Cheese Chocolate Chip Cookies are one of those recipes that surprise you in the best way. When I first heard about making cookie dough with cottage cheese, I wasn’t completely convinced. But after trying it, I was amazed at how soft, tender, and satisfying the cookies turned out.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (240g) cottage cheese
- 2 ½ tbsp (50g) honey or maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp (5g) vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125g) all‑purpose flour
- 3/4 cup (75g) oat flour
- 1/2 tsp (2g) baking powder
- 1/4 tsp (1g) salt
- 1/3 cup (60g) mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Put the cottage cheese in a blender or food processor.
- Blend until smooth and transfer it into a bowl.
- Add honey (or maple syrup), egg, and vanilla.
- Whisk until smooth.
- Add the flour, oat flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir gently until just combined. Don’t overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop rounded portions of dough onto your prepared baking sheet.
- Place the cookies about 2″ (5cm) apart.
- Flatten gently with the back of the scoop or your fingers, as these don’t spread as much as traditional cookies.
- Bake for 13–15 minutes or until the edges are just lightly golden.
- Let cookies cool on the sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
