Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- ½ cup (120 ml) cottage cheese (blended until smooth)
- ½ cup (60 g) almond flour (or oat flour)
- ¼ cup (64 g) natural peanut butter (or almond butter)
- ¼ cup (40 g) mini chocolate chips (dark or semi-sweet)
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Seasoning:
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Transform cottage cheese into a silky, uniform consistency by pulsing in a blender or food processor until completely smooth.
- Transfer the velvety cottage cheese to a mixing bowl and incorporate almond flour, creamy peanut butter, golden honey, aromatic vanilla extract, and a delicate sprinkle of salt. Knead the ingredients together until a pliable, cohesive dough emerges.
- Carefully integrate mini chocolate chips throughout the dough, ensuring an even distribution of sweet morsels.
- Utilizing a small scoop or spoon, portion the dough and roll between palms to create uniform spherical bites. Continue until all dough is transformed into delectable morsels.
- Arrange the cookie dough bites on a parchment-lined surface, creating a single layer that allows each bite to set properly.
- Refrigerate the prepared bites for a minimum of 30 minutes, allowing them to firm and develop a delightful chilled texture.
- When ready to indulge, retrieve the bites from the refrigerator. They can be savored immediately or allowed to warm slightly at room temperature for a softer consistency.
- Store any remaining bites in a sealed container within the refrigerator, preserving their freshness for up to five days.
Notes
- Opt for full-fat cottage cheese to achieve a richer, creamier texture that enhances the overall mouthfeel of the cookie dough bites.
- Use a silicone spatula when folding chocolate chips to ensure even distribution without breaking the delicate dough structure.
- Experiment with different nut butters like cashew or sunflower seed butter for alternative flavor profiles and dietary accommodations.
- Freeze the bites for a refreshing summer treat or longer storage option, keeping them fresh for up to 2 months in an airtight container.
