This viral cottage cheese cookie dough is so addicting. It’s egg free, gluten free, naturally sweetened and high in protein for the perfect little snack to help curb your sweet tooth.
This edible cookie dough recipe went viral a few years ago on Tik Tok. Since I’m always late to the game, I only discovered it this year. Probably sometime around the beginning of the year and let me tell you, I am completely addicted. I seriously make this about twice a week. I should probably just double the recipe but I feel like that would cause me to eat more in one sitting. It’s all about portion control. But this recipe has really helped me to not eat a lot of junk food or sweets because a few bites of the dough just really satisfies my cravings. And the fact that it’s high in protein is a big bonus!
Ingredients for viral cottage cheese cookie dough
Cottage cheese- Any kind will work
Almond flour- I stick with almond flour because I tried it one time with coconut flour and it didn’t turn out right. Do not use regular flour.
Vanilla protein powder- any variety works.
Maple syrup- the real stuff not the pancake syrup masquerading as maple syrup
Vanilla extract-because cookies contain vanilla extract. HA
Chocolate chips- I use a semi sweet 0g of sugar chocolate chips but you can use regular chocolate chips
Recipe
The recipe is very simple. First, add the almond flour and protein powder to a medium size mixing bowl. Second, add the cottage cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a blender and blend on high until smooth. Third, pour the blended ingredients into the bowl and mix until combined. Lastly, stir in the chocolate chips. Cover and refrigerate.
