TikTok Cottage Cheese Cookie Dough (Lauren’s Version)

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


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
