When you imagine making holiday treats you probably picture a 5-pound bag of flour and sugar, a kitchen sink full of mixing bowls, and a buttered towel. It’s a task 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. Chocolate chip cookie dough comes together in minutes with minimal mess. No need to turn on the oven.
And best of all, it is full of protein. Cottage Cheese is your superpower when it comes to enjoying a high protein dessert. While some prefer it alone, it owes its immense popularity to its diversity.
You can use cottage cheese in all kinds of different recipes. (Trust us, we’ve written quite a few of them!) And that includes tons of desserts, but this fun high-protein cookie dough might just be our favorite.
Watch the video to see how we did it, then try it yourself. Enjoy it!
