Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 tbsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 3/4 tsp Salt
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, Frozen
- 1 cup Full Fat Cottage Cheese
- 1/4 cup Cold Heavy Cream, Plus 1 tbsp For Brushing
- 1 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 3/4 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 2 tbsp Coarse Sugar
Equipment
- blender
- box grater
- biscuit cutter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Blend the cottage cheese, 1/4 cup heavy cream and vanilla until completely smooth, then refrigerate while you prepare the dry ingredients.
- Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Grate the frozen butter into the flour on the large holes of a box grater and toss to coat.
- Stir in the chocolate chips, then pour in the blended cottage cheese mixture. Stir with a fork until a shaggy dough forms, adding 1-2 more tablespoons of cream only if dry flour remains.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface, pat it out, fold it in half and pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut out 2 1/2-inch rounds, pressing straight down, and press the scraps together once to cut the rest.
- Arrange the biscuits 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining tablespoon of cream, sprinkle generously with coarse sugar and chill for 10 minutes.
- Bake for 16-19 minutes, until golden brown with a crackly sugar top. Cool for 5 minutes and serve warm, while the chocolate is still melty.
