Preheat the oven to 325°F. Set out two baking sheets and line them with parchment paper.
Set out a food processor. Add the drained cottage cheese, almond flour, sweetener, vanilla extract or protein powder, melted butter, baking powder, and salt. Puree until the mixture is very smooth. Then add ½ cup of chocolate chips and mix them in by hand. *If serving raw cookie dough, mix in all the chocolate chips.
Use a 1 ½ tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the cookies out, placing them on the cookie sheets to inches apart. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of chocolate chips over the top of the cookies.
Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, until the cookies are golden around the edges. Cool completely on the cookie sheets.
