Cottage Cheese Protein Cookies {chocolate chip}
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese blended
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 egg large
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
- Add the blended cottage cheese, egg, and vanilla. Mix on medium-low until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- With the mixer on low, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined—avoid overmixing.
- Stir in the chocolate chips using the paddle attachment or by hand. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between cookies.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are just set.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
