Ingredients

• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup homemade chocolate chips or store-bought
• 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking pan.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, softened butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
4. Fold in Chocolate Chips and Berries: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and mixed berries until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
5. Bake: Spread the cookie dough evenly in the prepared baking pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Cool and Cut: Allow the bars to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.
