Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside while you prepare the dough.
Mix wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese, honey, and eggs. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Add dry ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour and baking soda to the bowl. Mix thoroughly, scraping down the sides to make sure all ingredients are incorporated into a sticky dough.
Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the dough, distributing them evenly without overmixing to maintain a tender cookie texture.
Shape the cookies: Using a small ice cream scoop or spoon, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Leave about 3 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn golden brown but the centers remain soft.
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for several minutes before transferring to a wire rack. This helps them firm up and prevents breakage.

Notes

For a dairy-free option, substitute cottage cheese with a vegan cream cheese alternative, although texture may vary.
Make sure to space cookies adequately on the baking tray as they will spread slightly.
Use room temperature eggs for better mixing results.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
Adding a pinch of salt can enhance the flavor if desired.
