COTTAGE CHEESE COOKIE DOUGH (HIGH-PROTEIN EDIBLE COOKIE DOUGH IN 5 MINUTES)
Cottage Cheese Cookie Dough is a viral, high-protein, edible cookie dough made with just 5 ingredients in 5 minutes. No eggs, no raw flour, no baking — just creamy, sweet, protein-packed cookie dough you can eat by the spoonful.
Equipment
- Food processor or high-speed blender
- Spatula
- Small bowl
Ingredients
For the Cookie Dough:
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- ¼ cup maple syrup or honey or 3 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup almond flour or oat flour
- ¼ cup chocolate chips mini or regular
- pinch salt
Instructions
Add Ingredients:
- Add cottage cheese, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to a food processor or high-speed blender.
Blend Until Smooth:
- Blend on high for 30-60 seconds until completely smooth, scraping down sides as needed. No lumps should remain.
Add Almond Flour:
- Add almond flour and blend again until fully combined and a dough forms. If too sticky, add 1-2 tablespoons more almond flour. If too dry, add 1 teaspoon of milk or water.
Fold in Chocolate Chips:
- Transfer dough to a bowl. Fold in chocolate chips with a spatula.
Serve:
- Enjoy immediately by the spoonful, or refrigerate for 30 minutes for a firmer, more traditional cookie dough texture.
Notes
- Make Ahead: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Enjoy cold or at room temperature.
- Variations: Use oat flour for a nut-free version. Add 2 tablespoon peanut butter for peanut butter cookie dough. Add 1 tablespoon cocoa powder for chocolate cookie dough. Add white chocolate chips or chopped nuts. Sprinkle sea salt on top.
- Serving Suggestions: Eat by the spoonful as a high-protein snack. Roll into balls for protein bites. Use as a dip with apple slices or pretzels. Crumble over yogurt or ice cream. Chill and scoop for no-bake cookie dough bites.
- Allergy-Friendly: Use dairy-free cottage cheese and dairy-free chocolate chips for dairy-free/vegan. Use oat flour instead of almond flour for nut-free. Use coconut sugar or sugar-free sweetener for keto.
- Storage Tips: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Can be frozen for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe container. Thaw in the refrigerator before eating.
