My cookbook is here! 
These yummy cookies are easy to make and high in protein so bring on seconds!
I saw these cottage cheese cookies on EatingBirdFood.com and knew I had to try them! There are made with only 7 ingredients, high in protein and turned out so delicious! Yes, they are kid approved too!
I really enjoyed the vanilla protein powder in this recipe because it adds flavor AND extra protein to the recipe! So if you don’t have vanilla protein powder, you can sub in oat flour or more almond flour. I would also add a tablespoon more maple syrup to account for the change of flavor as well.

Cottage Cheese Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup (210 g) cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup (59.15 ml) maple syrup, (or honey)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup (112 g) almond flour
- 1/2 cup (54 g) vanilla protein powder
- 2 tbs coconut oil, , melted
- 1/2 cup (90 g) chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350℉ Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small food processor or blender, add the cottage cheese, maple syrup and vanilla – pulse until smooth. Transfer that mixture to a large bowl and mix with the almond flour, protein powder and coconut oil until combined. Lastly fold in the chocolate chips. Best to use a cookie scooper to form. your balls. Place them on the baking sheet and press down to flatten. Add some more chocolate to the tops (if you like) and bake until the edges are golden brown – about 13-15 minutes. Allow them to set on the baking sheet for a few minutes then transfer to a cooling rack.
Can you use plain protein powder instead of vanilla protein powder, and add vanilla extract?
Wonderful Post
Thanks
Is there anything you can use to replace the chocolate chips? Not keen on things like raisins. Perhaps nuts or seeds? But would that be the same volume? Thank you!
My cookies came flat as a siver dollar, what did I do wrong?
If you don’t have almond flour- what could be a substitute?
