Description
At its core, the Cottage Cheese Cookie Dough Recipe is a clever culinary hack. Traditional cookie dough relies on butter and sugar for texture and raw eggs and flour for structure. Since raw flour can contain bacteria and raw eggs carry a risk of salmonella, eating standard dough straight from the bowl is generally discouraged. This viral version replaces those problematic ingredients with a base of blended cottage cheese and heat-treated or grain-free flours like almond or oat flour.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- 2–3 tbsp maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup almond flour (or oat flour)
- 1–2 tbsp peanut butter (optional, but adds flavor)
- 2 tbsp chocolate chips
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Blend the cottage cheese
Blend until completely smooth (this is key for that cookie dough texture). - Mix wet ingredients
Add maple syrup, vanilla extract, and peanut butter. Mix well. - Add dry ingredients
Stir in almond/oat flour and salt until it forms a dough-like consistency. - Fold in chocolate chips
Mix gently. - Chill (optional)
Refrigerate for 15–30 minutes for a thicker texture.
