• Nutritional information – each cookie has approximately 2g net carbs, 4.5g protein, and around 76 calories, depending on the size of your strawberries and sweetener used.

Ingredients

• Full-fat cottage cheese (the star ingredient) – the creamy, high-protein base
• Ground chia seeds – helps bind and thicken naturally – See Recipe Tips
• Fresh strawberries – chopped small for real flavor pops
• Vanilla extract – adds that warm, dessert-like aroma
• Granulated sweetener of choice – I used Swerve
• Egg – binds the dough
• Baking powder – gives a light lift
• Pinch of salt – balances the sweetness

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Add full-fat cottage cheese to an immersion blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
• Add the ground chia seeds (see tips below!), egg, sweetener, vanilla extract, baking powder, and a pinch of salt directly into the blender. Blend or pulse just until combined.
• Let the mixture rest in the blender for 10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb moisture.
• Scoop and shape 6 cookies onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Gently press chopped fresh strawberries into the tops of each cookie.
• Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until just set and the bottoms are slightly golden brown.
• Let cool completely before lifting.

Recipe Tips

• Only use 1/3 cup of ground chia, not 1/3 cup of whole seeds that you grind – measure after grinding.
• If your strawberries are extra juicy, chop them smaller and blot them a bit.
• The cookies will not be crispy – think soft, chewy, and pancake-like.
• Resting time is crucial – chia needs time to absorb moisture for best results.
• Use parchment paper to avoid sticking and for easy cleanup.

Ingredient Swaps

• Swap strawberries with raspberries or blueberries.
• Add 1 tablespoon almond flour or protein powder for a firmer texture.
• Try lemon zest, almond extract, or even mini sugar-free chocolate chips for a twist.
• Use allulose or monk fruit as your sweetener of choice.

Storage Tips

• Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days.
• Freeze for up to 2 months. Let them thaw at room temperature or warm them briefly in the microwave.
• Avoid storing in a warm kitchen – chia cookies are delicate.

What to Serve With

• Spoon over some Keto Strawberry Chia Jam or Keto Blueberry Jam
• Pair with a scoop of Cottage Cheese Ice Cream
• Or serve alongside anything from the Cottage Cheese Dessert Collection
