When you imagine making holiday goodies you probably picture 5-pound bags of flour and sugar, a kitchen sink filled with mixing bowls, and a butter-smeared apron. It’s an activity that can go on for hours and mean tasting at least one of every batch of cookies as they emerge from 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. There’s no need to fire up the oven.
And best of all, it’s packed with protein. Cottage cheese is your superpower when it comes to enjoying a high protein dessert. While some prefer it on its own, it owes its massive popularity to its versatility.
You can use cottage cheese in all kinds of different recipes. (Trust us, we wrote a few of them!) And that includes tons of desserts, but this craveable high-protein cookie dough just might be our favorite.
