Notes
Use full-fat cottage cheese for best texture and richness
Blend cottage cheese until completely smooth to eliminate grittiness
Adjust sweetener to taste – start with less and add more as needed
Protein powder is optional but adds extra protein and flavor
Can substitute almond flour with oat flour if preferred
Texture will be softer than traditional cookie dough but equally satisfying
Try different mix-ins like crushed nuts, dried fruit, or different chocolate chips
Serve with fruit, crackers, or eat straight with a spoon
