It turns out that Mom was right: It&#8217;s not safe to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/can-you-really-get-sick-from-raw-cookie-dough\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/can-you-really-get-sick-from-raw-cookie-dough\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">eat raw cookie dough<\/a>. Luckily, this edible cottage cheese cookie dough recipe is a protein-packed alternative designed to be enjoyed by the spoonful.<\/p>\n<p>This recipe went viral on TikTok, which seems to be having a cottage cheese moment. First, it was cottage cheese ice cream, then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/cottage-cheese-bread\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/cottage-cheese-bread\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cottage cheese bread<\/a>. But after trying this recipe, I have to say that I&#8217;m here for cookie dough made with cottage cheese! Loaded with chocolate chips and packed with protein, without the danger of raw eggs, this edible cookie dough tastes just as good as original cookie dough.<\/p>\n<h2>Cottage Cheese Cookie Dough Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Cottage cheese:<\/strong> This easy edible cookie dough is the latest recipe in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/cottage-cheese-trend\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/cottage-cheese-trend\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cottage cheese trend<\/a> that has taken the internet by storm. The high-protein cheese becomes smooth and creamy in the blender and takes well to sweeteners. We think 4% cottage cheese works best, but feel free to use what you have in the fridge.<\/li>\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Maple syrup and vanilla extract:<\/strong> Vanilla accentuates the sweetness of maple syrup for a well-rounded flavor.<\/li>\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Almond flour:<\/strong> This naturally gluten-free flour thickens the cottage cheese until it resembles cookie dough. Unlike grain-based flour, raw almond flour is safe to eat.<\/li>\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Protein powder:<\/strong> Protein powder thickens the cookie dough and adds flavor. Vanilla-flavored whey protein powder is an excellent base for cookie dough, but you can use other flavors like chocolate or peanut butter for variety.<\/li>\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Chocolate chips:<\/strong> Mini semisweet chocolate chips add a level of decadence to edible cookie dough. We like semisweet chocolate because it adds much-needed sweetness to the cottage cheese cookie dough, which is less sweet than traditional cookie dough. Of course, you can always use dark chocolate chips if you like the bitterness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Blend the cottage cheese<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2047996\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Cottage-Cheese-Cookie-Dough_TOHcom24_277686_DR_08_29_01b.jpg\" alt=\"Place cottage cheese, maple syrup and vanilla extract in a blender; puree until smooth.\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Dan Roberts for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Place the cottage cheese, maple syrup and vanilla extract in a blender and puree until smooth.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Form the edible cookie dough<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2047997\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Cottage-Cheese-Cookie-Dough_TOHcom24_277686_DR_08_29_02b.jpg\" alt=\"Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl; stir in almond flour and protein powder\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Dan Roberts for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl.
