Servings: 14 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese I used 4%
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp coconut oil melted
- 1 ½ cup almond flour finely sifted
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder
- ½ dark cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add cottage cheese, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and coconut oil to a blender and blend until smooth.
- In a medium bowl, combine almond flour and vanilla protein powder.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients with a silicone spatula. Finally, fold the chocolate chips in.
- Then, use a 2 tbsp cookie scoop and scoop the dough onto the baking sheet. Flatten the cookies with a spoon or fingers; they won’t change much in shape.
- Bake in the oven for 15-17 minutes until the cookies are slightly golden on the edges. Transfer onto the cooling rack and let them cool down before serving.
