Soft, lightly sweet high protein keto cranberry cookies made with blended cottage cheese and pecans. These cookies bake up tender and satisfying, with real cranberry flavor, no added sugar, and no protein powder.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons butter, unsalted
- 1/2 cup Swerve (granulated)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - sugar free
- 1.25 cup almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup cranberries
- 1/4 cup pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth. This step is key to a soft, even cookie texture.1/2 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- If your blender can handle thicker mixtures, add the egg, melted butter, sweetener, and vanilla directly to the blender and blend until fully combined. If not, transfer the blended cottage cheese to a bowl and mix the remaining ingredients by hand.1 large egg, 2 tablespoons butter, unsalted, 1/2 cup Swerve (granulated), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - sugar free
- Add the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Blend or stir until a soft dough forms.1.25 cup almond flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Fold in the cranberries and chopped pecans.1/4 cup cranberries, 1/4 cup pecans
- Use a medium cookie scoop to portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten each cookie slightly so they bake evenly.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, until the cookies are set and lightly golden at the edges.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet to finish setting before moving.
Notes
- These cookies are meant to be soft and tender. They firm slightly as they cool but stay moist inside.
- Dough texture matters: if the dough is too soft, add almond flour one tablespoon at a time. If too thick, add a little more cottage cheese.
- Slightly underbaked cookies will fall apart; overbaked cookies can turn dry. Bake until just set at the edges.
- Cookies freeze very well. Freeze individually and reheat one at a time in the microwave for 20–30 seconds.
