Cottage Cheese Cookie Dough is thick, flavorful and filled with protein! All you need is six ingredients to make this recipe.
Cottage Cheese Cookie Dough went viral on social media for good reason! Jake Cohen is the original creator of this recipe. I decided to make my own version using honey instead of pure maple syrup and PBfit instead of protein powder.

Yummy! I didn't have any cottage cheese tonight and used plain Greek yogurt. Still good! I will definitely try again with the cottage cheese:)

Pretty good for what it is. I was glad to find a recipe without protein powder. I substituted sugar free syrup for the honey and it still turned out.
I'm glad you enjoyed! 🙂
