- 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter, Softened
- 1/3 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 Egg Yolk
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 cup Vanilla Protein Powder (Whey Casein Blend)
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 10 Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, Chopped
- 1/3 cup White Chocolate Chips
- 8 Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, Broken In Half
Equipment
- blender
Instructions
- Blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth. It gives the dough a creamy, sweet cream flavor that tastes just like the filling of the sandwich cookies.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar for 2 minutes. Beat in the blended cottage cheese, egg yolk and vanilla until creamy.
- Add the flour, protein powder, baking soda and salt, and mix until a soft dough forms. Fold in the chopped sandwich cookies and white chocolate chips, then cover and chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop the dough into 16 balls, about 2 tablespoons each, and place them 2 inches apart. Press a sandwich cookie half into the top of each ball.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look soft.
- Cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
