No reviews

These cookies are a delightful surprise—rich, chocolatey, and guilt-free! Packed with protein, they make a perfect treat for busy afternoons.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12-15 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) 4% high protein cottage cheese
  • 2 cups (305g) 60% dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Add the cottage cheese to a high-powered blender and blend until completely smooth.
  3. In a large microwave-safe mixing bowl, add the chocolate chips. Heat them in 15-30 second intervals, stirring with a spatula in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  4. Once the cottage cheese is smooth, add it to the melted chocolate. Stir with a spatula until fully combined.
  5. Using a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop, quickly scoop the batter and release it onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
  6. Place one tray of cookies in the fridge for 15 minutes to firm up.
  7. Bake the cookies for about 15-17 minutes or until they are puffed up and have a crackly surface.
  8. Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before removing them.

Notes

  • Blend the cottage cheese for a full minute to warm it slightly for smooth mixing.
  • Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor and melting.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet to prevent breakage.
