- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup Gratisfied Empower Bar Cacao baking mix see note
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips plus more for topping if desired
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Process until creamy.
In a large mixing bowl, add the Empower Bar Cacao baking mix, melted coconut oil, and cottage cheese mixture. Stir to combine. Add the chocolate chips and stir again until a thick dough is formed. Transfer the bowl with the dough to the freezer for 10 minutes to chill.
Once chilled, use your hands or a 1½ inch cookie scoop to form balls of equal size. Place them on the baking sheet at least two inches apart. Use your hands to slightly flatten each cookie, and add a few more chocolate chips to the top of each cookie if desired.
Bake 10 to 12 minutes until the outer edges have started to firm. They might still feel soft to the touch, but they will firm as they cool. Allow the cookies to completely cool on the baking sheet before trying to handle, at least 30 minutes to 1 hour.
