🛒 Ingredients

1 cup cottage cheese
1¼ cups rolled oats
¼ cup maple syrup
1 large egg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt

Optional toppings: light glaze (powdered sugar + milk), chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of extra cinnamon

👩‍🍳 Methods / Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Prepare the Cookie Dough

In a large bowl, combine cottage cheese, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract.
Stir in oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt until well mixed.
Dough will be slightly sticky but should hold together.

3. Shape the Cookies

Scoop tablespoons of dough and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers—they won’t spread much on their own.

4. Bake

Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until lightly golden on the edges and set in the center.
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

5. Serve

Enjoy warm for a soft, cozy breakfast treat.
Optional: Drizzle with a simple glaze or sprinkle extra cinnamon for a “cinnamon roll” effect.
