# How to Make:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, blended cottage cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
03 - Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
05 - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
06 - Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
07 - Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them approximately 2 inches apart.
08 - Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers appear slightly soft.
09 - Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
