VIRAL Healthy Cottage Cheese Chocolate Chip Cookies are PACKED with protein and totally grain-free! Delicious, soft-baked, and no added sugar.

These Viral Cottage Cheese Cookies Are the Healthy Treat You Didn’t Know You Needed

Looking for a cookie that tastes indulgent *but* won’t derail your health goals? Meet the viral cottage cheese chocolate chip cookie, aka the internet’s favorite way to sneak in protein without sacrificing chocolate. These babies are soft, chewy, gluten-free, and made with almond flour. And yes, they’re blowing up on TikTok for a reason.

Why Cottage Cheese + Almond Flour = Cookie Magic

Cottage cheese in cookies might sound odd, but trust me, it works. It adds a creamy richness, moisture, and a solid boost of protein. Almond flour keeps things low-carb, gluten-free, and slightly nutty (in the best way). The combo creates a cookie that’s tender, satisfying, and way more nourishing than your average bakery treat.

Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat.
2. Toss the cottage cheese, applesauce, sweetener, vanilla, and egg into a bowl. Use a hand mixer (or blender if you’re fancy) until smooth and creamy.
3. Whisk together almond flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
4. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet, stirring until just combined. Don’t overmix, we want soft, fluffy cookies, not tough ones.
5. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts if you’re using them.
6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto your baking sheet. Give them some room to breathe, 2 inches apart works.
7. Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden at the edges and set in the center. Let cool before devouring (or don’t, I won’t judge).

Pro Tips for Next-Level Cookies

• Smooth operator: Blend your cottage cheese completely if you want a silky texture. Like a little chunk? Leave a few curds in.
• Make it yours: Want them sweeter? Add more sugar. Want crunch? Throw in sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, or dried cranberries.
• Storage tip**: Store them in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or freeze and reheat for a warm cookie moment anytime.

Why You’ll Feel Good Eating These

These cookies are basically a protein snack in disguise. With cottage cheese and almond flour, you’re getting a mix of protein, healthy fats, and fiber, without the crash that comes with traditional cookies. They’re also gluten-free, sugar-free, and high in CLASSIC chocolate chip cookie flavor.

Go Ahead, Join the Viral Cookie Craze

Whether you’re in it for the protein, the chocolate, or the sheer TikTok clout, these cottage cheese cookies check every box. Perfect as a snack, dessert, or even an on-the-go breakfast (yep, I said it), they’re easy to make and even easier to love.

1. Not sure what went wrong but my cookies came out very flimsy and fell apart, maybe too moist?
   Cooked for about 17 minutes and still did not crisp up at all.
   Tasted okay but would have liked them more crispy.

   
   

2. that was probably it, the cottage cheese was pretty wet along with the apple sauce.
   Will have to try with dryer cottage cheeses.
   Thanks

   
   

3. How many cookies does this make?

   
   

4. Hello!! I did use good culture but my cookies ended flat but I must say the flavor took me to space. I want to remake, in hopes they turn out like yours. Crossing finger

Healthy Copycat Crumbl Sugar Cookie with Pink Frosting

This recipe captures the original’s soft, chewy texture and sweet flavor, but with a protein-packed and sugar-free twist. These cookies are perfect for anyone looking to indulge at home without the cost of Crumbl!

Ingredients

For the Cookies:

– 1 cup almond flour

– 1/2 cup oat flour

– 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder (see suggestions below!)

– 1/2 cup sugar-free sweetener (I use NuNaturals! Code HEALTHYHELPER saves $$)

– 1/4 teaspoon salt

– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

– 1/4 cup Greek yogurt

– 1 large egg

– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Pink Frosting:

– 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened

– 1/4 cup Greek yogurt

– 2 tablespoons sugar-free sweetener

– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

– A few drops of pink food coloring

Instructions

Making the Cookies:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, oat flour, protein powder, sugar-free sweetener, baking soda, and salt.

3. Cream the Butter: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Add the Greek yogurt and beat until smooth. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

5. Shape the Cookies: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll them into balls, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass.

6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Making the Pink Frosting:

1. Prepare the Frosting: In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the Greek yogurt, sugar-free sweetener, and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until well combined.

2. Add Color: Mix in a few drops of pink food coloring until you achieve your desired shade of pink.

3. Frost the Cookies: Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread a generous amount of frosting on each cookie.

Tips for Success

– Choose the Right Protein Powder: Opt for a vanilla-flavored protein powder that you enjoy, as this will heavily influence the taste of your cookies.

– Consistency Matters: If the dough seems too dry, add a teaspoon of milk or water at a time until it reaches a pliable consistency.

– Storage: Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Protein Powder Recommendations

Here are my TOP picks for clean protein powders to use in this recipe:

Instructions for Healthy Copycat Blueberry Cheesecake Crumbl Cookies

Making the Blueberry Jam:

1. In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sweetener, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the blueberries break down, about 10 minutes.
2. Remove from heat and stir in chia seeds. Let the mixture sit until it thickens, about 5-10 minutes. Set aside to cool.

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sweetener until light and fluffy.
3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, oat flour, protein powder, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 12 evenly sized balls. Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Making the Cream Cheese Frosting:

1. In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
2. Add the powdered sweetener and vanilla extract, beating until well combined and smooth.

Assembling the Cookies:

1. Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous layer of cream cheese frosting on top of each one.
2. Add a spoonful of the blueberry jam on top of the frosting.
3. Enjoy your healthy, high-protein Blueberry Cheesecake Crumbl Cookies!

– Sweetener: Adjust the amount of sweetener to your taste preference. You can use natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup if you prefer.
– Storage: Store these cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. They taste even better chilled!
