Ingredients
- Whole milk cottage cheese 4% milkfat
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Cookie scoop 1 tablespoon size
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Use a 1 tbsp cookie scoop to portion cottage cheese onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Flatten each portion to about 3/16 to 1/4 inch thick.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes until edges are dark brown.
Notes
- Drain the cottage cheese well before baking for the perfect crunch.
- Let the chips cool completely on the parchment paper to achieve the best crispy texture.
- Don’t rush the baking process; underbaking will result in soft chips.
- Use full-fat cottage cheese (at least 4% milkfat) for the best texture and flavor.
- Store the chips in an airtight container with a paper towel at the bottom to absorb excess moisture, keeping them crispy. Refrigerate them for up to 3-4 days.
- To reheat, bake at 350°F for 3-5 minutes or microwave for 2-3 minutes.
