1 cup cottage cheese
1 scoop vanilla or flavorless protein powder (you can substitute it with 1 tbsp oat flour)
2 tablespoons maple syrup (or another liquid sweetener such as agave or honey)
2 tablespoons cashew butter
¼ teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup almond flour
¼ cup mini chocolate chips (or any other mix-ins)

Add the cottage cheese, protein powder, maple syrup, cashew butter, salt and vanilla extract to a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth. You should have a creamy mixture without any lumps.
Transfer the blended cottage cheese mixture into a mixing bowl. Add the almond flour and stir until combined. Because cottage cheese moisture content can vary you may need more almond flour to achieve the consistency you like.
Stir in chocolate chips or any other add-ins you'd like (see notes).
You can eat it right away, I recommend chilling the dough for 30 minutes to an hour before serving. Chilling will allow the almond flour to absorb more moisture and result in a better texture. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Optional add-ins: raisins or dried cranberries, dried apricots, chopped nuts, chopped chocolate.
Add 3 tablespoons cocoa powder while blending the cheese to get a chocolate cookie dough.
