Can I use low-fat cottage cheese instead of full-fat?

Absolutely! The chips will still work, but expect them to be slightly less crispy and a tad drier. Full-fat gives that perfect golden crispness, but low-fat is a great lighter option. If you go this route, I recommend adding that optional tablespoon of olive oil to help with browning.

Why did my chips turn out soggy?

Oh no! Usually this means they needed more bake time or weren't thin enough. Next time, make sure to flatten them to credit-card thinness (seriously, no thicker than 1/8 inch!) and bake until the edges are deeply golden. If they're still soft after cooling, pop them back in the oven for 3-5 more minutes.

Can I make these in an air fryer?

You bet! I do this all the time when I want a quick single-serving. Just cook at 375°F for about 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway. The chips cook faster in the air fryer, so keep a close eye on them - they go from perfect to burnt quickly!

How do I know when they're done baking?

Look for three signs: 1) The edges turn a deeper golden brown, 2) The centers lose their wet shine, and 3) They lift easily from the parchment. They'll firm up more as they cool, so don't wait until they're rock-hard in the oven.

Can I add other mix-ins like cheese or veggies?

Go for it - but keep additions small! Grated hard cheeses (like parmesan ) work great, but anything too wet (like fresh veggies) can make them soggy. If experimenting, start with just 1-2 teaspoons of add-ins per batch until you nail the texture.
