When your sweet tooth calls but you have protein goal - make these protein sugar cookies. It took me three tries to get these right and they were well worth the wait! One of you had requested a sugar cookie version of my cottage cheese cookies (I have about 10 other flavors btw!) and these really delivered! These are softer than a typical cookie, have the perfect sweetness and zero cottage cheese taste! Each cookie has about 14g of protein 🥳 This is the protein powder I used in this recipe (they also have a vegan version) and it truly kicks it up a notch.

Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Blend cottage cheese, applesauce, vanilla together until smooth.
Stir in a bowl with the rest of the ingredients.
Scoop onto parchment lined baking sheet. I used a spoon and spread into a large circle. They will be wet but you should be able to scoop them onto the sheet and hold their shape. They will spread slightly when baking.
Bake 350 for 18 min. Let cool for at least 10 min - they will firm as they cool.
Once cooled, enjoy one (or two 🙃) and store the rest in the fridge. These will not do well sitting out in room temp.

Notes

I made these large so there was only 7 cookies, but if you wanted to make them smaller it should make around 10-12. These are softer than a typical cookie.
