Viral Cottage Cheese Edible Cookie Dough
Edible cookie dough made with cottage cheese is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional cookie dough. The cottage cheese adds a creamy and tangy flavor to the dough, while also providing a good source of protein. This dough can be enjoyed raw or baked, and is perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without the guilt.
