4 Ingredient Keto Blueberry Cottage Cheese Cookies
These blueberry cottage cheese cookies are soft, chewy and studded with blueberries. They are a great low carb and high protein treat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (227g) 4% high protein cottage cheese
- 2 cups (176g) superfine blanched almond flour
- 1/3 cup (65g) granular monkfruit sweetener
- 1/2 cup (66g)+ 2 tbsp (16.5g) fresh blueberries, divided, patted dry before using
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Add the cottage cheese to a high-powered blender. Blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides of the machine as needed.
- In a large mixing bowl, add almond flour and sweetener. Whisk until evenly combined. Add in the blended cottage cheese and mix with a spatula until the cottage cheese is fully incorporated. The mixture should be a very thick batter that won't run or spread when you scoop and release it onto the baking sheet.
- Add 1/2 cup blueberries and gently fold them into the dough, trying your best not to crush the berries.
- Use a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop to scoop the dough and release onto a prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 1.5 inches apart. Gently flatten each cookie with the back of a metal spoon until they form thick round disks (about 1/2 inch thick). Gently press the remaining blueberries on the surface of any cookies that are lacking some blueberries.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cookies are set. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet before serving. Store uneaten cookies in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer. I recommend reheating the cookies before eating.
Notes
- Cottage cheese note: This recipe works best with a high protein cottage cheese that contains between 13 to 14 grams of protein per 1/2 cup (110g) serving. You want to avoid using low fat cottage or low protein cottage cheese, which are too watery.
- Almond flour note: When measuring almond flour with measuring cups, make sure to fluff up the almond flour in the bag first with a spoon. Then spoon it into your measuring cup and level off the surface with a spoon. If you don't fluff up the flour first or you directly scoop the flour with your measuring cup, you will end up with too much almond flour for this recipe.
- Avoid using allulose as the sweetener for this recipe. It will add too much moisture and cause the cookies to brown too quickly.
- I used Amazon Fresh superfine almond flour,*and Lakanto monkfruit sweetener* to make this recipe.
