High-Protein, No-Bake Cookie Dough

Instructions

1. If using cottage cheese, blend it in a food processor or blender until it is completely smooth and creamy. If you use Greek yoghurt, you can skip this step.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the smooth cottage cheese or Greek yoghurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the protein powder and the almond or oat flour.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix with a spatula until a thick dough forms. The texture should resemble traditional cookie dough.
5.  Gently fold the chocolate chips into the dough until they are evenly distributed.
6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes to achieve a firmer texture. The dough can be eaten immediately with a spoon or formed into balls for a quick snack. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to one week.
