Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, honey, and cinnamon. Whisk until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Gradually stir in the oats, flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold until just mixed, being careful not to overwork the dough.
  4. Drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until edges are golden. Rotate the pan halfway through for even baking.
  6. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Aim for a thick, slightly sticky dough. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet to prevent breaking apart. Baking times can differ, check at 12 minutes to avoid overbaking. If freezing, reheat in the microwave for a few seconds to revive them.
