Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 unit large egg
- 0.5 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Add the vanilla extract, egg, and cottage cheese to the butter mixture. Beat until well combined. The mixture may look slightly curdled; this is normal.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6
Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Step 7
Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
