Notes

High Protein No-Bake Cookie Dough Tips

TEXTURE TIP: Blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth before mixing it into the dough. This keeps the cookie dough creamy instead of grainy.
FLOUR TIP: Almond flour gives the dough a soft, rich cookie dough texture. Oat flour can work, but coconut flour is much more absorbent and should not be used as a 1:1 swap.
PROTEIN POWDER TIP: A whey/casein blend usually gives the thickest, smoothest texture. Pure whey may make the dough softer, while plant-based protein may make it thicker.
DOUGH TIP: If the dough is too runny, add 1 tablespoon of almond flour at a time. If it is too thick, add a small splash of milk or extra blended cottage cheese.
NO-BAKE TIP: This dough is designed to be eaten no-bake and should not be baked into cookies.
CHILLING TIP: Eat immediately for a softer texture, or chill for 10 to 20 minutes for a thicker, scoopable cookie dough texture.
STORAGE TIP: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or roll into bites and freeze for up to 3 months.
