High Protein Edible Cottage Cheese Cookie Dough Recipe
Creamy, protein-rich edible cookie dough made with cottage cheese, almond flour, and chocolate chips. This viral TikTok recipe actually tastes like real cookie dough while packing in 15g of protein per serving!
Equipment
- 1 Blender or Food Processor
Ingredients
- 1 cup of cottage cheese I used lactose-free but any full fat one will do
- 1 cup of almond flour
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup almond butter
- ¼ cup Protein powder. I love the Good Protein brand. I use unflavoured, but you could use your favorite flavor too. Just note it will alter the taste.
- 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
- Optional Add-Ins for Hormone Health Support
- 1 tsp Ashwagandha. I like using the powder for this dessert and the drops otherwise.
- 1 tsp Maca powder. I love this one.
- 1 scoop of organic adaptogenic mushroom blend. I love the Four Sigmatic blends.
Instructions
- In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, almond butter, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground flax seeds, and sea salt.

Notes
- 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.
- Store any leftover cookie dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days.
