Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese Creamy and protein-rich, keeping the cookies moist.
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup Natural sweetener, feel free to choose your favorite.
  • 1 large egg Helps to bind the ingredients.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Adds aroma and flavor.
Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup quick oats Provides a hearty taste and chewy texture.
  • 1 tsp baking powder Ensures cookies rise for a fluffy texture.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and egg until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the quick oats and baking powder.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced about two inches apart.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for better taste, don't skip the parchment paper, and feel free to adjust sweetness. Experiment with mix-ins like chocolate chips or dried fruits.
