Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and egg. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the oats, baking powder, and cinnamon.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Using a cookie scoop or two tablespoons, drop dollops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and edges are set.
  7. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
