These Lemon Cottage Cheese Cookies are incredibly soft, pillowy, and perfectly Weight Watchers friendly! By using blended cottage cheese, we cut down on the butter and pack each cookie with a sneaky protein boost—without sacrificing that bakery-style texture. Whether you are counting your WW points or just want a bright, refreshing, high-protein treat, this easy recipe is a must-try. You cannot taste the cottage cheese at all!

How to Make This:

Ingredients:

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
4 Tbsp light butter spread (I used Brummel and Brown)
1 cup Lakanto classic with allulose
1 large egg
1 cup cottage cheese 2% milkfat
1 large lemon, zested and juiced, divided- 4 Tbsp juice, 1 Tbsp zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup powdered Lakanto

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375°F.
In a medium bowl, add flour and baking powder and stir until combined. Set aside.
Process cottage cheese in food processor or blender until mostly smooth. Set aside.
Add to a mixer, butter spread and Lakanto classic and mix until combined.
Add egg and beat until incorporated.
Add cottage cheese, ½ lemon zest, 2 Tbsp lemon juice, and vanilla. Mix to combine.
Add in dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Line baking sheets with liner or parchment paper.
Spoon dough in 2 Tbsp amounts onto lined baking sheet, about two inches apart.
Bake 13-15 minutes, or until slightly golden and set. Remove from sheet to wire rack to cool.
Meanwhile, combine powdered Lakanto, remaining lemon zest, and 2 Tbsp lemon juice. Stir until smooth.
Spread glaze onto cookies.
Enjoy!
