Ingredients
- 1 egg white
- 1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons coconut oil melted
- 1 cup Gluten Free Rolled Oats
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder or Dutch
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips dairy free
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 F. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment or slip mat paper.
- Using a food processor or blender, blend together the rolled oats, egg white, cottage cheese, coconut sugar, vanilla extract and salt.
- Then add the baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder and melted coconut oil . Blend until the ingredients are fully combined.
- Transfer the batter to a mixing bowl, add the chocolate chips and fold them into the batter to disperse them.
- Drop 1-2 tablespoons of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet to form one cookie using a small ice cream scoop. Repeat until you have 12 cookies or all batter is used.
- Bake 10-12 minutes or until the center of the cookies are firm and set.
- Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool 5 minutes then eat! Store cookies in the refrigerator up to 10 days or in the freezer up to 60 days.
Notes
- Melt the coconut oil in a ramekin or small bowl in the microwave 15 seconds or so then let it cool a bit before adding it to the batter.
- If you like sweeter cookies, you can add more sugar. These are not sweet cookies. I personally do not like super sweet cookies.
