Ingredients

  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 cup quick oats
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Instructions

  • Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients. Measure out 1 cup of low-fat cottage cheese and ensure it’s smooth and fresh to create a creamy mixture. It’s essential for achieving the right cookie texture.
  • Blend Wet Ingredients: In a food processor or blender, combine the cottage cheese with 1/3 cup of your choice of honey or maple syrup. Add 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and free of any lumps, enhancing both flavor and texture.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup of quick oats and 1 teaspoon baking powder. Stir well to evenly distribute the baking powder, crucial for a well-risen cookie.
  • Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry. Stir gently but thoroughly to ensure every oat is coated, maintaining a uniform texture. Your dough should be slightly sticky yet manageable.
  • Preheat and Prepare Spoons: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) as you prepare your baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and promotes even baking.
  • Scoop and Shape Dough:  Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each scoop slightly with the back of a spoon, allowing for even baking plus that classic cookie shape.
  • Bake and Enjoy: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the aroma fills your kitchen. Allow cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy the perfect blend of soft, chewy, and satisfying cottage cheese protein cookies.
