High-protein, low-carb pumpkin cookies made in the blender with cottage cheese, almond flour, and dark chocolate chips. A soft, spiced fall treat with just 1.9g net carbs per cookie!
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add all the wet ingredients to your blender - pumpkin puree, cottage cheese, egg, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy. This helps break down the cottage cheese for that soft cookie texture.
1/3 cup Pumpkin Puree, 1/3 cup full-fat cottage cheese, 1 large egg, 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract - sugar free
Next, add the dry ingredients right into the blender - almond flour, baking powder, sweetener, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Blend again until a thick cookie dough forms.
5/4 cup almond flour, 2 tablespoons Swerve (granulated), 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon Ground Ginger, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, 1/8 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
Fold in the chocolate chips with a spoon or spatula. Do not blend them! You want those gooey bits to stay whole.
2 tablespoons Lily's Dark Chocolate Chips
Scoop the dough onto your lined baking sheet using a medium cookie scoop or a spoon.
Gently flatten the tops of the cookies. They will not spread much, so shape them how you want them to bake.
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes. Mine were perfect at 13 - golden brown at the edges and set in the center.
Let them cool on the tray for 10 minutes before moving to a cooling rack. They will feel soft but firm up as they cool.
-
If the dough feels too wet to scoop, add a little more almond flour.
-
If too dry, stir in more blended cottage cheese or a splash of almond milk.
-
These cookies don’t spread much, so shape them before baking.
-
Skipping the chocolate chips saves carbs.
-
Want extra protein? Add 1 tablespoon of vanilla protein powder and reduce almond flour slightly.
-
Store in an airtight container at room temp for 3 days, fridge for 1 week, or freeze for longer.
