Instructions

Blend the cottage cheese (2 minutes):
1. In a food processor or blender, blend the cottage cheese until smooth and creamy. This step ensures that the cookie dough has a nice, even texture.
Combine ingredients (3 minutes):
1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, vanilla protein powder, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and the blended cottage cheese.
2. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and resembles cookie dough. If the dough seems too sticky, you can add a bit more almond flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a scoopable consistency.
Fold in the chocolate chips (1 minute):
1. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
Scoop and shape the bites (5 minutes):
1. Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion the dough into bite-sized dollops. If you’d like, you can roll them into balls or shape them into cubes for easy eating.
2. Place the bites on a plate or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill and serve (15 minutes):
1. Place the bites in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to firm up. Once chilled, they’re ready to enjoy!
