High Protein Cottage Cheese Cookie Dough

When you imagine baking holiday treats, you probably picture 5-pound bags of flour and sugar, a kitchen sink full of mixing bowls, and an apron slathered in butter. It’s an activity that can last hours and require tasting at least one of each batch of cookies as they come out of the oven.

But that’s not the only way to produce a seasonal sweet treat. This chocolate chip cookie dough comes together in minutes with minimal mess. There is no need to turn on the oven.

And above all, it is full of protein. Cottage cheese is your superpower when it comes to enjoying a protein-rich dessert. Although some prefer it alone, it owes its immense popularity to its versatility.

You can use cottage cheese in all sorts of different recipes. (Trust us, we wrote a few!) And that includes tons of desserts, but this delicious, protein-packed cookie dough might just be our favorite.
