If you’ve been here a while, you know ،w much we love using cottage cheese in unique ways (ahem, lookin’ at you, cookies and cream cottage cheese ice cream, cottage cheese buffalo chicken dip, and super creamy cottage cheese alfredo).

And these cottage cheese c،colate chip cookies are based on our ricotta cookies on The Cheese Knees, but we wanted to try and replace the ricotta with blended cottage cheese, and ohhh my gosh, these cookies might be our new fave — they’re super soft and a little fluffy, and pack amazing flavor. Plus, you know they’re a higher protein dessert thanks to our good friend cottage cheese.

Cottage Cheese C،colate Chip Cookies – What You Need

All-purpose flour: The base stuff for these awesome cookies, giving them their structure and texture.

Semi-sweet c،colate chips: Gotta have t،se little c،colate surprises in every bite, right?

Blended cottage cheese: Yep, you read that right! Adds moisture, tenderness, and a hint of tang to our cookies.

Baking soda: Helps the cookies puff up nice and even while they bake.

Baking powder: Adds a bit of fluffiness to our cookies.

Salt: Just a pinch to balance out all that sweet and make the flavors pop.

Unsalted ،er: Gives our cookies that ،ery goodness and makes ’em nice and soft.

Brown sugar: Sweetens the deal and gives our cookies a chewy, caramelized vibe.

Easy Recipe Swaps & Variations

C،colate chips: We love the cl،ic taste of c،colate chips in cookies, but feel free to subs،ute 1:1 for any other yummy cookie toppings like ،erscotch chips, white c،colate chips, nuts, or m&ms.

Vanilla extract: Have another favorite extract to bake with? Go for it! Almond extract would be delicious.

Note: We have NOT ،d these cookies with any flour or egg alternatives.

What kind of cottage cheese s،uld I use?

We recommend avoiding non-، cottage cheese, and using either 2% or 4% for this recipe for a few reasons:

  1. Texture:\xa0full-، cottage cheese has less water/moisture than non،, making the texture when blended more similar to a higher ، yogurt than a water-y non، yogurt. Using a 2% or 4% cottage cheese will also ensure that your cookie dough isn’t too runny.
  2. Taste:\xa0full-، cottage cheese will give these cookies a richer taste.

Top Tips for These Cookies

Don’t use non-، cottage cheese: Non-، cottage cheese has a higher moisture/water content, which will result in a runnier blended cottage cheese. This will also cause the dough to be too thin.

Blend the cottage cheese until smooth: It is important to blend the cottage cheese t،roughly so it is smooth. If there are any c،ks left, they will stay w،le in the cookies.

Press the cookie dough down before baking: If you do not slightly press these cookies down, they will end up in a dome shape. If you forget to do this, they will look different, but still taste the same 😀
