When you imagine making holiday treats, you probably envision five-pound bags of flour and sugar, a kitchen sink full of mixing bowls, and a buttered apron. It’s an activity that can take hours and means tasting at least one of each batch of cookies as they come out of the oven.
But this is not the only way to produce a seasonal sweet. This chocolate chip cookie dough comes together in minutes with minimal mess. No need to turn on the oven.
And best of all, it’s packed with protein. Fresh cheese is your superpower when it comes to enjoying a high-protein dessert. While some prefer it on its own, it owes its great popularity to its versatility.
You can use fresh cheese in all kinds of different recipes. (Trust us, we wrote a few of them!) That includes a ton of desserts, but this indulgent, high-protein cookie dough might just be our favorite.
Watch the video to see how we did it, then try it yourself. Enjoy!
