I’m excited to share my version of the Cottage Cheese Cookie Dough, a one-of-a-kind base that adds creamy texture and a protein punch to Sweet treats. The 25 recipes that follow are all built around the same basic formula of Cottage Cheese Cookie Dough.

The first recipe is the “Classic,” which I find to be a versatile and undemanding base for making all kinds of cookies. My favorite version of these cookies is what I call “Pumpkin Spice” (a tickle my tongue experience if there ever was one).

This is a slightly organized chaos of spices and a nutty kick, with just enough sugars to really amplify the flavors but not enough for anyone to have a sweet-tooth meltdown. Another lovely version is “Cottage Cheese Double Chocolate Cookies,” where chocolate crinkles meet my favorite cookie dough.

Let me know what you think of these recipes!

The 25 Best Cottage Cheese Cookie Dough

1. Classic Cottage Cheese Cookie Dough

Classic Cottage Cheese Cookie Dough is the recipe I adore, mixing together cottage cheese, soft butter, flour, and vanilla extract into the exquisite, soft dough that is so intriguing to prepare. The delightful combination of these ingredients makes the final product so satisfying that it’s hard not to be drawn in.

Ingredients

• 1 cup cottage cheese, drained
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, put the drained cottage cheese and softened butter. Beat together until creamy and smooth.

2. Add in the vanilla, then sift the following ingredients into the cheese mixture: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until a soft dough forms.

3. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

4. Set the temperature of the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the dough, and cut it into the shapes you want. Place the dough shapes in the oven, and let them bake for 12-15 minutes. When the timer goes off, the shapes should be a nice golden-brown color.

2. Chocolate Chip Cottage Cheese Cookie Dough

Chocolate Chip Cottage Cheese Cookie Dough is a combination of cottage cheese, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract, with a unique twist on the classic cookie. And yet, that’s not all!

There’s also irresistibly balanced semi-sweet chocolate chips folded into the dough. And when it comes to texture, these cookies are the epitome of everything a good cookie should be.

Ingredients

• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Your oven should be set to 350°F (175°C) for preheating. The softened butter and sugar must be blended in a large mixing bowl until they reach the smooth, creamy consistency of a cookie dough base.

2. Combine the cottage cheese and the vanilla extract with the mixture, and stir until everything is well incorporated.

3. In another bowl, combine the flour and baking soda. Slowly add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.

4. Chocolate chips are next. Stir them in, and then it’s time for either dropping or using a 1/4-cup measure to get Cookie Dough portions that are consistently the right size. Place the parchment-lined baking sheet either on the top or middle rack. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in a preheated oven.

3. Oatmeal Raisin Cottage Cheese Cookie Dough

Place rounded spoonfuls of the mixture onto a sheet that has been set up for baking and pop it into the oven for a spell.

Once cooled, these little nuggets of health can be served with abandon.
