Supplies

Ingredients:

  1. 2 1/2 cups of all purpose flour (300g)
  2. 1 tsp of baking soda (5g)
  3. 1/2 tsp of salt (2g)
  4. 1/2 cup of unsalted butter (113g)
  5. 1/3 cup of brown sugar (65g)
  6. 1/3 cup of white granulated sugar (75g)
  7. 2 tsp of vanilla extract (10g)
  8. 1 large egg
  9. 1 cup of cottage cheese, blended (225g)
  10. 1 cup of chocolate chips (170g)

Equipment:

  1. Bowl
  2. Spoon
  3. Whisk
  4. Mixer, optional
  5. Sheet pan or cookie sheet
  6. Silicone baking mat or parchment paper

Step 1: Mix Dry Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 350F/176C. Add the cottage cheese to a blender and blend until smooth and there are no large chunks of cheese.

Add the flour, salt, and baking soda to a medium bowl and whisk. You can also put those ingredients in a sifter and sift them if you like instead.

Step 2: Cream Wet Ingredients

Add the softened butter, brown sugar, and white granulated sugar to a large bowl and mix with a spoon or an electric mixer. Then add the vanilla extract and egg and mix until combined.

Next, add the blended cottage cheese and mix until combined.

Step 3: Finish the Dough

Add the chocolate chips and stir those in then add the flour mixture a little at a time until all combined and you are left with the cookie dough.

Step 4: Bake Those Cookies

Use a cookie scoop or two spoons and place cookie dough on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. You should be able to get 12 of them on there. Space them about 2 inches apart.

Bake at 350F/176C for 10 to 14 minutes until lightly golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 2 to 3 minutes then transfer to a wire cookie rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

This recipe will make around 24 total cookies.
