Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Step 1: Drain the Cottage Cheese. Start by thoroughly draining the cottage cheese to remove excess moisture. Place it in a fine mesh sieve for about 10 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Combine the Dry Ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, add the well-drained cottage cheese, almond flour, rolled oats, and your choice of natural sweetener. Pour in the nut butter and vanilla extract.
  3. Step 3: Mix Thoroughly. Using a spatula, mix all the ingredients until they are well combined, creating a cohesive dough.
  4. Step 4: Add Baking Ingredients. Sprinkle in the baking soda and a pinch of salt, stirring until they are evenly incorporated into the dough.
  5. Step 5: Fold in Chocolate Chips. Gently fold in the chocolate chips or nuts of your choosing until well distributed.
  6. Step 6: Taste and Adjust Sweetness. Scoop a small amount of cookie dough to taste, adjusting sweetness as needed.
  7. Step 7: Chill the Dough. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  8. Step 8: Portion the Dough. Scoop the cookie dough into small portions and place them on a plate or container, leaving space between each.
  9. Step 9: Serve or Store. Enjoy your Cottage Cheese Cookie Dough directly or store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.
