Instructions

1. Add the low-fat cottage cheese, creamy peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a blender or food processor.

2. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed so no lumps remain.

3. Transfer the creamy base to a medium mixing bowl.

4. Add the vanilla protein powder, oat flour, and fine sea salt to the bowl.

5. Stir with a spatula until the dry ingredients are fully incorporated and a thick, soft dough forms.

6. Fold in the mini dark chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

7. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes, or until it firms up to a scoopable cookie-dough consistency.

8. Scoop into balls or serve with a spoon. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

For the best cookie-dough texture, make sure you blend the cottage cheese mixture completely smooth before adding the dry ingredients—any remaining lumps will show up in the final dough and change the mouthfeel.
