Cottage Cheese Cookie Dough

Cottage cheese cookie dough is our answer to edible cookie dough, which is usually butter, sugar and flour. This version keeps the part everyone wants, a sweet, thick dough full of chocolate chips, and builds it on blended cottage cheese and peanut butter instead.

How it comes together

The cottage cheese is blended first so the dough is smooth, then thickened with oat flour and vanilla protein. Peanut butter gives it the brown-sugar, buttery flavor that makes it taste like real cookie dough. Chilling for 20 minutes firms it up enough to scoop.

Make it your way

• Lower calorie: use powdered peanut butter mixed with water instead of regular peanut butter (saves about 35 calories per serving).
• Snickerdoodle: skip the chocolate chips and add 1 tsp cinnamon.
• Birthday cake: add 1 tbsp rainbow sprinkles and use white chocolate chips.

Portion it into small containers and it becomes a grab-and-go afternoon snack with as much protein as two eggs.
