Description

These cookies are the kind you feel good about—soft, naturally sweet, and protein-packed thanks to the secret star: blended cottage cheese. Born from a craving for something warm and wholesome, they’ve quickly become a favorite around our house. Perfect with a cup of tea or tucked into a lunchbox, they’re a smart treat with that home-baked comfort.

 


Ingredients

Scale

1 cup cottage cheese (blended until smooth)

¼ cup honey or maple syrup

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1½ cups oat flour

½ tsp baking soda

½ tsp cinnamon

¼ tsp salt

½ cup chocolate chips (or swap for chopped nuts, raisins, or dried cranberries)


Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

 

In a bowl, mix blended cottage cheese, honey, egg, and vanilla until smooth.

 

Add oat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until a dough forms.

 

Fold in chocolate chips.

 

Scoop dough into small balls and flatten gently on the baking sheet.

 

Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are golden.

 

Let cool before enjoying—they firm up as they rest.
