Prep: 10 minCook: 12 minTotal: 22 min
Servings: 10 large cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup 4% milk small curd cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cup blanched almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 8 oz. semi-sweet chocolate bar, chopped
- flakey salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Place the cottage cheese, coconut sugar, egg and vanilla in a food processor. You can also use a handheld electric mixer but it’s important to blend these ingredients really well to break down the cottage cheese curds.
- Add the almond flour, baking soda, and salt to the food processor. Blend until combined.
- Add the chocolate chunks, saving some to press into the tops of the cookies, and pulse a couple times to incorporate.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and use a large cookie scooper to form six cookie dough balls on the pan. Press a few chunks into the tops of each cookie dough ball.
- Bake for 12 minutes.
- Allow the cookies to set on the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
- Repeat until the cookie dough is used up and all the cookies have been baked.
- Sprinkle the tops with flakey salt (if desired) and enjoy!
