Description
These cookies are soft and tender, featuring a pleasant tang and extra moisture from cottage cheese, making them a delightful twist on the classic chocolate chip cookie.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare baking sheets.
- Cream together the cottage cheese, softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers are set.
- Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
For best results, use full-fat cottage cheese and avoid overmixing the dough. To prevent spreading, chill the dough if it seems very wet.
