Instructions
Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
- Start by getting all your ingredients ready. You'll need cottage cheese, a sweetener like honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and extras like chocolate chips or nuts. Measuring everything before you start makes it easier.
Step 2: Blend the Cottage Cheese
- Put the cottage cheese in a blender or food processor. Blend it until it’s smooth and creamy with no lumps. This helps make the dough the right texture.
Step 3: Add Sweeteners and Flavor
- Move the blended cottage cheese to a bowl. Add your sweetener and a little vanilla extract for flavor. Mix everything well so it’s evenly combined.
Step 4: Add Your Extras
- Gently mix in your extras, like chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit, using a spatula. Don’t mix too much—just enough to spread them out evenly.
Step 5: Chill Before Eating
- Put the dough in the fridge for about 20 minutes. Chilling makes it firmer and tastier. After that, your cottage cheese cookie dough is ready to enjoy as a yummy snack or dessert!
Notes
When making this cottage cheese cookie dough, ensure you blend the cottage cheese until it’s completely smooth to achieve the ideal texture. For best results, use fresh and quality ingredients, and don’t be afraid to experiment with add-ins to personalize the flavor.
