Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and softened butter until smooth.
- Add the sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Make sure the butter is softened but not melted for the best texture. Use full-fat cottage cheese for richer flavor and moisture. For a variation in flavor, try adding nuts or dried fruit along with the chocolate chips. Be careful not to overmix after adding the dry ingredients to maintain a soft and chewy cookie.
