These Cottage Cheese Chocolate Chip Cookies are the ultimate soft-baked treat with a healthy twist. Naturally sweetened with honey and boosted with extra protein from cottage cheese, they’re perfect for a guilt-free snack or dessert. We’ve doubled the batch and added some flavor upgrades to take these cookies from simple to standout.
Ingredients
4 cups cottage cheese
1 cup honey (or maple syrup)
4 large eggs
4 cups all-purpose flour (or 3 cups flour + 1 cup oat flour for extra texture)
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups chocolate chips (dark, semi-sweet, or sugar-free)
Optional Twists:
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon (warmth)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (crunch + healthy fats)
1/4 tsp salt to balance sweetness
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a blender or food processor, blend cottage cheese until smooth.
In a large bowl, mix blended cottage cheese, honey, eggs, and vanilla (if using).
Stir in flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips and optional nuts.
Scoop dough onto baking sheets (about 1.5 tbsp per cookie).
Bake 11–13 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Let cool 5 minutes before transferring to a rack.
