Is this cottage cheese cookie dough safe to eat raw?

Absolutely! Since there are no eggs or raw flour, it's completely safe straight from the bowl. That's the beauty of this recipe—no baking required for deliciousness.

Can I bake this dough into cookies?

I don't recommend it—the texture turns cakey rather than chewy. This dough was born to be enjoyed raw, chilled, and by the spoonful!

How can I make this dairy-free?

Swap cottage cheese for thick coconut yogurt (the Greek-style kind works best). Just note the flavor will be slightly tangier—add an extra teaspoon of maple syrup to balance it out.

Why is my dough too wet?

You probably need to drain your cottage cheese longer! Let it sit in a sieve for 5-10 minutes, or add extra almond flour 1 tablespoon at a time until it firms up.

Yes! Portion into small containers and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge—the texture stays perfect!
