Ingredients
125g cottage cheese
30g honey
½ tsp vanilla extract
50g ground almonds
15g cocoa powder
1 tbsp plain flour
Pinch of salt
50g chocolate (melted for dipping, or chopped to mix into the dough)
Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, honey, and vanilla until smooth.
Add the ground almonds, cocoa powder, flour, and salt.
Stir in the chopped chocolate if using. Alternatively, reserve the chocolate to melt and dip the cookies after baking.
Divide the mixture into 9 equal portions using a small cookie scoop or spoon. Roll into balls and place on the prepared tray.
Flatten each ball slightly with a fork.
Bake for 14–16 minutes, or until set. Let the cookies cool on the tray.
If using melted chocolate for dipping, dip the cooled cookies in melted chocolate, and allow to set before serving.
