Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese
1 ¼ cups oats
¼ cup maple syrup
1 egg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350F (175C) and prep a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth.
In a bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract. Then, add the oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt, stirring until everything is mixed together.
Spoon the dough onto the baking sheet and gently flatten the cookies.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until set and lightly golden on the bottom.
Let them cool a bit before you enjoy.
Notes
Use room-temperature butter. This helps the cookies mix evenly for consistent texture.
Don’t overmix the dough. This can lead to tough cookies.
Use a cookie scoop for uniform size. This will ensure even baking.
Let the cookies cool completely. This allows them to set fully for the best texture.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. Fresh cookies will last for several days.
