Is cottage cheese cookie dough healthy?

Yes, it’s a high-protein, low-sugar alternative to traditional cookie dough. Packed with wholesome ingredients like cottage cheese, oat flour, and nut butter, it’s a smarter way to satisfy sweet cravings. You can also customize it to be gluten-free or low-carb.

Can I bake cottage cheese cookie dough?

This recipe isn’t designed for baking. It's meant to be eaten raw, like edible cookie dough. However, if you're looking to bake with cottage cheese, try my Homemade Flourless Cottage Cheese Bread or Cottage Cheese Peanut Butter Mousse for cooked options.

Why is my cottage cheese cookie dough runny?

Runny texture usually comes from excess moisture in your cottage cheese or too much syrup. Fix it by adding a little more oat flour, blending the base smoother, or letting it chill longer. It will thicken as it sets.

How long does cottage cheese cookie dough last?

Stored in an airtight container in the fridge, cottage cheese cookie dough stays fresh for up to 5 days. You can freeze it in portions for longer storage. Just let it thaw before eating and stir gently to refresh the texture.
