Description
A unique cookie dough that combines the creaminess of cottage cheese with the sweetness of cookie ingredients, resulting in a delightful texture and flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups mix-ins (chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried cherries)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy; beat in the eggs one at a time, and add the vanilla.
- Fold in the cottage cheese, breaking up any large curds until the dough is silky.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, then gradually fold into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Stir in your chosen mix-ins, and chill the dough for 20-30 minutes if too soft.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions two inches apart on the baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly underbaked. Let cool on a rack for 5 minutes.
Notes
For a different flavor, consider browning the butter before creaming with sugars. Chilling the dough improves texture.
