# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It tastes like you're eating cookie dough without the guilt or raw egg anxiety.
  • Takes 10 minutes and requires zero cooking, which means you can make it while your coffee is still hot.
  • Naturally high in protein, so you're actually winning at snacking for once.
  • Works for people with different dietary needs without feeling like a compromise.
02 -
  • If your cottage cheese is particularly wet, don't just blend longer; strain it through cheesecloth for 20 minutes first or your dip will be too thin even after adding flour.
  • Don't skip the vanilla extract because you think it won't matter; that tiny amount is what tricks your brain into thinking this is actual cookie dough and not a healthy snack.
03 -
  • The colder the dip, the better it holds its shape around fruit, but the harder it is to dip, so find your personal temperature sweet spot.
  • Buy the best chocolate chips you can find because they're a starring ingredient here, not an afterthought, and good dark chocolate makes everything taste more intentional.
