Cottage Cheese Cookies

1 cup large curd cottage cheese

¼ cup pure maple syrup

1 tsp vanilla

1 cup almond flour

2 Tablespoons melted coconut oil

½ cup vanilla protein powder

½ cup chocolate chips + more for topping

Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a blender, add the cottage cheese, maple syrup and vanilla. Blend on high until smooth.
In a mixing bowl combine almond flour and protein powder. Add the coconut oil and cottage cheese mixture.
Stir until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Scoop dough onto a prepared baking sheet using a medium cookie scoop and use your hands to flatten the cookies just a bit so they're in a cookie shape. You can also roll the cookie dough into a ball and then use your hand to flatter for a more uniform shape. Add a couple more chocolate chips on top of each cookie.
Bake for about 15-16 minutes or until the bottom of the cookies are golden brown. Let cool and enjoy!
