Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat for about 10-15 minutes to ensure it reaches a consistent temperature.

Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.

In a blender or food processor, combine 1 cup of cottage cheese, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Blend on medium speed until you get a smooth, creamy consistency.

Pour 1 cup of almond flour into the blender and blend again until the flour is just incorporated. (Don't overmix)

Scrape the dough into a medium bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of peanut butter and ½ cup of chocolate chips.

Fold them in with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Scoop the dough into 12 equal portions, about 1.5 inches each, using a spoon or cookie scoop.

Place them on the prepared tray, spacing them 2 inches apart. They should be about ½-inch thick.

Place the tray in the oven, ensuring it’s at 350°F (175°C). Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers feel set.

For softer cookies, aim for 10 minutes; for slightly firmer ones, go closer to 12 minutes.

Let the cookies sit on the tray for 5 minutes to firm up. They’re now ready to enjoy!
