When you think of making wedding meals, you probably picture 5-pound bags of flour and sugar, a kitchen sink full of mixing bowls, and a buttered apron. This is an activity that can take several hours and means tasting at least one of each batch of cookies as they come out of the oven.

But that’s not the only way to make seasonal sweet treats. This chocolate chip cookie dough comes together in minutes with minimal fuss. No need to preheat the oven.

And best of all, it’s full of protein. Cottage cheese is your superpower when it comes to enjoying a high protein dessert. While some prefer it on its own, it owes its immense popularity to its versatility.

You can use cottage cheese in all kinds of different recipes. (Trust us, we wrote some of them!) And that includes tons of desserts, but our favorite might be these delicious high-protein cookie doughs.
