If you’ve spent any time on TikTok lately, you’ve probably seen the cottage cheese cookie dough recipe making the rounds. And listen — I was skeptical too. Cottage cheese… in cookie dough? Ma’am.

But after tweaking it to fit real life, GLP appetites, and my “luxury-adjacent but low-effort” standards, I get it. This one is creamy, lightly sweet, protein-packed, and hits that cookie dough craving without sending your blood sugar (or stomach) into chaos.

This is my go-to when:

• food sounds “meh”
• I want something sweet but not a whole thing
• protein still needs to happen
• my brain wants dessert but my body wants peace

Let’s get into it.

Why Cottage Cheese Cookie Dough Is Everywhere

This recipe blew up for a reason:

• Cottage cheese blends smooth (no curds, promise)
• High protein = keeps you full longer
• No baking, no eggs, no drama
• Totally customizable depending on cravings

And yes — it actually tastes like dessert.

Lauren’s TikTok Cottage Cheese Cookie Dough Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups low-fat cottage cheese
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 cup Lily’s chocolate chips

Directions

1. Add the cottage cheese, brown sugar, and vanilla to a blender or food processor.
   Blend until very smooth — this step matters.
2. Transfer the mixture to a bowl.
3. Stir in the almond flour until fully combined.
4. Fold in the chocolate chips.
5. Chill for 20–30 minutes if you want it thicker… or grab a spoon immediately. No rules here.

Texture & Taste Notes (Because Details Matter)

• Texture: Creamy, thick, spoonable cookie dough
• Sweetness: Mild but satisfying (not cloying)
• Flavor: Vanilla-forward with chocolate in every bite
• Curd Situation: None. Zero. Trust the blender.

If you like edible cookie dough but don’t want the crash, this hits the sweet spot.

Pro Tips (Lauren-Approved)

• Want it sweeter? Add a drizzle of maple syrup or honey
• Dairy sensitive? Use lactose-free cottage cheese
• More protein? Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder (reduce almond flour slightly)
• GLP-friendly portioning: A few spoonfuls go a long way — this keeps well in the fridge for 3–4 days

Is This GLP-Friendly?

Short answer: yes, for many people.
Longer answer: high protein + fat + lower sugar = slower digestion and fewer spikes. This is one of those recipes that feels indulgent but sits well for a lot of us navigating reduced appetite, food noise, or “dessert but make it reasonable” seasons.

As always — listen to your body. No one food is universal.

Final Thoughts

This recipe is proof that:

• viral food doesn’t have to be trash
• protein can be fun
• dessert doesn’t have to be dramatic
• and cottage cheese deserves a PR rebrand
