Notes

  • Blend the cottage cheese very well so the dough turns smooth and creamy.
  • Use fine almond flour for the best cookie dough texture.
  • If the mixture feels too soft, add 1 to 2 tablespoons more almond flour.
  • If it feels too thick, stir in a spoonful of blended cottage cheese.
  • Use a vanilla protein powder you enjoy because the flavor will come through.
