Cookies made from cottage cheese dough

Description

Homemade baked treats for tea. You can use cottage cheese of any fat content, homemade or store-bought. You may add dried fruits, nuts, or coconut flakes to the dough. Granulated sugar can be substituted with honey, and butter can be replaced with margarine. Before baking, you can sprinkle the cookies with sugar to get a beautiful caramelized crust. Serve with tea or coffee.
