Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 2/3 cup cane sugar
- 1/3 cup cottage cheese, blended until smooth
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 egg white
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1/4 cup tapioca flour
- 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Blend the Cottage Cheese: In a small food processor or using an immersion blender, blend 1/3 cup of cottage cheese until it reaches a smooth consistency.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix the blended cottage cheese, coconut oil, and cane sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and apple cider vinegar, mixing until well combined. Then, incorporate the egg white into the mixture.
- Add Dry Ingredients: To the wet mixture, add almond flour, oat flour, tapioca flour, vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Mix until a soft cookie dough forms.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Portion the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, place portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
- Optional Chocolate Chip Hack: For a visually appealing touch, place 7-8 chocolate chips into the empty cookie scoop before adding the dough. This ensures the chips are prominently displayed on top once baked.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden.
- Cool: Once baked, let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before enjoying.
Notes
Blending the Cottage Cheese: Ensuring the cottage cheese is smoothly blended prevents any unexpected texture in the cookies, resulting in a consistent dough.
Measuring Flour: Accurate measurement of flours is crucial. Using the spoon-and-level method helps prevent dense cookies.
Oil Consistency: If your coconut oil is solid, gently warm it until melted. This ensures it incorporates smoothly with the other ingredients.
Chilling the Dough: If the dough feels too soft, refrigerate it for about 15 minutes. This makes it easier to handle and shape.
