High protein cottage cheese cookie dough

When you imagine making holiday treats, you probably envision 5-pound bags of flour and sugar, a sink full of mixing bowls, and a buttered apron. It’s an activity that can take hours and means tasting at least one of each batch of cookies as they come out of the oven.

But that’s not the only way to produce a seasonal sweet treat. This chocolate chip cookie dough comes together in minutes with minimal mess. No need to turn on the oven.

And best of all, it’s packed with protein. Fresh cheese is your superpower when it comes to enjoying a protein dessert. Although some prefer it on its own, it owes its immense popularity to its versatility.

You can use fresh cheese in all kinds of different recipes. (trust us, we wrote a few of them!) And that includes tons of desserts, but this protein-rich, crave-worthy cookie dough might be our favorite.

Watch the video to see how we did it, then try it yourself. Enjoy!
