Keto Cottage Cheese Double Chocolate Cookies

Putting cottage cheese in cookies might sound a little unusual at first. I was not sure about it either until I tried making a batch myself.

Blending the cottage cheese gives these keto cottage cheese double chocolate cookies a rich texture that keeps them soft and fudgy.

It is completely low carb and keto friendly, which means you can enjoy a real chocolate treat without messing up your daily carb count.

Plus, the extra protein from the cheese makes each cookie much more filling than regular sweets.

If you want an easy dessert that feels rich and satisfying, you will definitely want to give this one a try.

Recipe Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Full-Fat Cottage Cheese
• 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
• 2/3 cup Granulated Monk Fruit Sweetener
• 1 Large Egg
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 1 3/4 cups Blanched Almond Flour
• 1/3 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
• 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1/2 cup Sugar-Free Dark Chocolate Chips

How To Make

Step 1

Blend the cottage cheese in a small blender or food processor until completely smooth.

Step 2

In a large bowl, beat the butter and sweetener until creamy. Add the blended cottage cheese, egg, and vanilla, and beat until smooth.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt, breaking up any cocoa lumps.

Step 4

Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a thick, fudgy dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips and chill the dough for 20 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop the dough into 1 1/2 tbsp balls and flatten each one to about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 6

Bake for 11 to 12 minutes. The centers will look slightly soft, which keeps them fudgy once cooled.

Step 7

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes before moving them to a wire rack.

Tips

Blend the Cottage Cheese Until Silky

Make sure you blend the cottage cheese until there are zero curds left. If you skip this, you will end up with little white specks and wet spots inside your baked cookies.

A mini blender or small food processor works best for this small amount. It should look just like thick heavy cream before you add it to the bowl.

Sift the Cocoa Powder

Cocoa powder tends to pack into small clumps that a whisk cannot easily break up. I always push the cocoa through a fine mesh strainer right into the almond flour.

This guarantees an even chocolate flavor throughout every single bite instead of biting into dry, bitter powder pockets.

Chill the Dough Before Baking

Almond flour and softened butter create a very sticky mixture when combined with cottage cheese. If you try to scoop it right away, the dough will stick to your fingers and spoon.

Chilling the dough for at least 20 minutes firms up the butter. This makes it super easy to scoop, shape, and handle cleanly.
