Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (120 ml / 4 fl oz) cottage cheese (blended until smooth)
- ½ cup (60 g / 2.1 oz) almond flour (or oat flour)
- ¼ cup (64 g / 2.3 oz) natural peanut butter (or almond butter)
- ¼ cup (40 g / 1.4 oz) mini chocolate chips (dark or semi-sweet)
- 2 tbsps (30 ml / 1 fl oz) honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Blending: Pulverize cottage cheese in a blender or food processor until achieving an ultrafine, velvety texture.
- Dough Composition: Integrate almond flour, peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and salt into the smoothed cottage cheese, kneading thoroughly until a cohesive, malleable mixture forms.
- Chocolate Incorporation: Gently fold mini chocolate chips throughout the dough, ensuring even distribution of the sweet fragments.
- Shaping: Using a small scoop, craft uniform spherical bites by rolling the portioned dough between palms, transforming the entire mixture into delectable morsels.
- Chilling Process: Arrange the cookie dough bites on a parchment-lined surface in a single layer, then refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes to solidify and develop optimal texture.
- Serving and Storage: Remove from refrigerator and enjoy immediately or allow slight warming to room temperature. Preserve remaining bites in a sealed container within the refrigerator for up to five days, maintaining their delightful consistency.
Notes
- Blend Smoothly: Pulse cottage cheese thoroughly to achieve a silky, lump-free base that ensures a creamy texture in the final cookie dough bites.
- Balance Wet Ingredients: Carefully measure peanut butter and honey to maintain the right dough consistency, preventing it from becoming too sticky or dry.
- Chill for Perfection: Allow minimum 30-minute refrigeration to help bites firm up, enhancing their structural integrity and developing deeper flavor notes.
- Adapt for Dietary Needs: Swap almond flour with coconut or oat flour for gluten-free alternatives, and use sugar-free honey or maple syrup for lower-sugar versions.
