High Protein Edible Cottage Cheese Cookie Dough Recipe

Today, I’m excited to share my delicious edible High Protein Cottage Cheese Cookie Dough recipe. It’s a viral Tik Tok sensation for a reason—creamy, indulgent, and packed with wholesome ingredients. Let’s dive in and see why everyone’s raving about it!

This Cottage Cheese Cookie Dough has taken the internet by storm because it’s not your average edible cookie dough made with heat treated flour. It’s made with creamy cottage cheese, providing a unique texture and boosting the protein content. Plus, it’s customizable with various add-ins to suit your taste preferences.

• Cottage Cheese: Provides creaminess and protein to the dough.
• Almond Flour: Helps to create a smoother and denser consistency in the cookie dough and enhances the flavor.
• Maple Syrup or Honey: Adds natural sweetness without refined sugars.
• Vanilla Extract: Enhances the flavor profile with a hint of vanilla.
• Nut Butter: Adds richness and depth of flavor. My recipe uses my homemade Almond butter.
• Protein Powder and Collagen: Boosts the protein content for a more satisfying treat.
• Ground Flax Seeds: Adds a nutritional boost with omega-3 fatty acids.
• Sea Salt: Balances the sweetness and enhances the overall flavor.
• Chocolate Chips: Because what’s cookie dough without chocolate chips?

• 1 cup of cottage cheese (lactose-free)
• 1 cup of almond flour
• 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ cup almond butter
• ¼ cup unflavored protein powder. I love the Good Protein brand.
• 2 tbsp collagen powder. Also love the Good Protein brand for this or the Organika one, which you can often find at Costco for a great deal!
• 2 tbsp ground flax seeds
• ¼ tsp sea salt
• ½ cup chocolate chips or chunks (I used dark chocolate Callebut Callets)

Hormone Friendly Additions

• Ashwagandha. I like using the powder for this dessert and the drops otherwise.
• 1tsp Maca powder. I love this one.
• 1 scoop of organic adaptogenic mushroom blend. I love the Four Sigmatic blends.

1. Prepare Ingredients:
   • Measure out all the ingredients according to the listed quantities.
2. Blend Cottage Cheese Mixture:
   • In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, almond butter, almond flour, protein powder, collagen powder, ground flax seeds, and sea salt.
   • Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed.
3. Fold in Chocolate Chips:
   • Once the mixture is smooth, transfer it to a mixing bowl.
   • Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
4. Chill and Serve:
   • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the cookie dough to an airtight container.
   • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dough to firm up.
   • Serve chilled and enjoy straight from the bowl or use it as a topping for your favorite treats.
5. Store Remaining Dough:
   • Store any leftover cookie dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days.

Enjoy your creamy and protein-packed Cottage Cheese Cookie Dough—it’s a delicious and satisfying treat for any time of day!

The combination of cottage cheese, protein powder, and collagen powder makes this cookie dough recipe a protein-packed treat. Each bite is not only delicious but also satisfying and nourishing.

To enhance the hormone-friendly properties of this recipe, you can add hormone-balancing ingredients like Ashwagandha, Maca powder, and adaptogenic mushroom blends. These additions not only add depth of flavor but also provide additional health benefits.

Maintaining hormone balance is crucial for overall health and well-being. Hormones play a role in various bodily functions, including metabolism, mood regulation, and reproductive health. Incorporating hormone-friendly ingredients into your diet can support hormonal balance and promote overall wellness.

You can substitute ingredients to suit your dietary preferences or allergies. Try using Coconut flour and Oat Haus Granola Butter (the cinnamon roll is a fav in my house) instead of Almond butter and flour to make it nut-free, honey or agave to replace the maple syrup, leave out the collagen powder if you’re not a fan or swap the unflavored protein powder for a flavored one. Make this recipe your own in a way that suits your specific dietary needs.

Experiment with different flavor variations to keep things exciting! Try adding Biscoff cookie crumbs and spread for a caramelized flavor, peanut butter cups for a nutty twist, or brownie chunks for a rich chocolatey taste. The possibilities are endless!

The first one is a no-brainer and my fav way – straight from the spoon! You can also use it as a dip for pretzels, fruit or your fav crackers. Or, add it as a topping for oatmeal, yogurt, or pancakes. Get creative and have fun with it!

• Blender or food processor
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Mixing bowl
• Spatula
• Airtight container for storage. The Zwilling vacuum seal containers are amazing for food storage.
