Delicious Thumbprint Cookies with Cottage Cheese and Almond Flour

These thumbprint cookies feature a soft texture thanks to the cottage cheese and almond flour. The chocolate chips add a rich sweetness, making them a perfect treat for any time of day. The recipe yields about 24 cookies and takes approximately 30 minutes to prepare and bake.

Ingredients

• 1 cup cottage cheese, drained
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• Additional sugar for rolling (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, almond flour, sugar, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Mix until well combined.
3. Shape Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls. If desired, roll the balls in additional sugar for a sweeter exterior.
4. Create Thumbprints: Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to create an indentation in the center of each cookie.
5. Add Chocolate Chips: Fill each indentation with chocolate chips, pressing them gently into the dough.
6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
