Super yummy! I tripled the recipe. I kept some in the refrigerator, froze some for later and my son wanted to try making a cookie and they’re not bad. We did 45 seconds in the microwave and the texture was light and fluffy.Chahinez
That’s such a great idea I love that! I’m glad it turned out well!

Can you use oat flour in place of almond flour? Do you have to bake the oat flour before consuming it?Chahinez
Yes, you can use oat flour. It would taste great. No, you do not need to bake oat flour.

It is pretty good! I like how it is not over sweet, but the texture is not my favorite lol. I have made this a couple times, once without protein powder (added extra almond flour) & the second with it. It’s not exactly like cookie dough, but it is still satisfying to eat. I would like to see more recipes like this.Reply

This is the BEST cottage cheese cookie dough recipe. I have made it three times in 3 weeks. I am addicted! Much better if you make it the night before and leave in the fridge overnight. Highly recommend.Reply

this ain’t itReply
Hana
Yes, but I can’t HAVE real cookie dough anymore and am really grateful for recipes like this.LaWanda
I think we all know that this is not the REAL deal. But it is as REAL as it gets for those of us who must watch our sugar/carb intake. Don’t knock it ’til you try it.

Sounds tasty. Is it necessary to bake the flour beforehand to avoid ecoli or whatever is bad for your stomach?
Reply
Chahinez
Yes it’s important!

I don’t see how when/how you bake the flour in your recipe instructions. Can you please advise?

This recipe tastes like cheesecake to me. I have made it three times and am opting to leave out the add-ins to start, and just mix them in when I snack. Fresh blueberries are awesome. Thank you for a great recipe that is keto-friendly.Reply

Can I actually bake the dough? Just curious!Chahinez
Sure! Someone else said they baked them with their kids and it came out interesting LOL but give it a shot!

Both me and my teen boy loved. And guests ask for the recipe. Thanks.Just as FYI, for my first blog about healthy eating, I cited your recipe and wrote about the slight modifications I made for my low calorie and high protein goals (https://fitfabfresh40plus.com/blog-%26-recipes/f/my-diet-made-me-eat-chocolate).
