Description
These cottage cheese chocolate chip cookies are soft, slightly tangy, and full of gooey chocolate chips, making them a delightful treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking sheet lightly or line it with parchment paper. Measure out all ingredients so they are ready to use.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the cottage cheese, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips gently.
- Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set but still soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For best results, use full-fat cottage cheese. Store cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep them soft. These cookies are great served warm with milk or coffee.
