Easy Edible Cottage Cheese Cookie Dough
Creamy, spoonable edible cookie dough made from blended cottage cheese, almond flour, whey protein, and mini chocolate chips—with an optional browned butter and flaky sea salt upgrade.
Equipment
- Blender
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Spoon or Spatula
- Airtight container
Ingredients
- 1 cup 4% cottage cheese
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup vanilla-flavored whey protein powder
- 1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Prepare the Cottage Cheese Base
- Place cottage cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a blender, then puree until completely smooth and glossy with no visible curds (it should look like a thick, creamy batter).
- Transfer to a large mixing bowl, then stir in almond flour and protein powder until dough-like and it starts holding soft scoops.
Add the Mix-ins
- Fold in the chocolate chips gently so they stay evenly dispersed.
Chill and Store
- Store refrigerated in an airtight container. If the surface looks a touch glossy after sitting, give it a quick stir before serving.
Notes
Optional twist from the article: brown butter separately until nutty and amber, then mix it in with a pinch of flaky sea salt before you blend for a deeper cookie dough flavor.
