Step-by-Step Instructions for Cottage Cheese Protein Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and egg. Mix until well blended.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the oats, baking powder, and optional cinnamon.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Using a cookie scoop, drop dollops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each mound about two inches apart.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes until they turn a light golden brown, then let cool on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
