  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, protein powder, almond flour, baking powder, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  3. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
