Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place cottage cheese, egg, almond butter, and vanilla extract in a blender and process until completely smooth.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine oats, protein powder, baking powder, and salt.
Stir the blended cottage cheese mixture into the dry ingredients until a thick batter forms.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Scoop approximately 12 equal portions of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
Bake for 15 minutes or until the edges are set and lightly browned.
Cool the cookies on the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to ensure they set properly.
