Cottage cheese and lemon cookies
Description
Homemade baked goods for tea. Cottage cheese cookies are very pretty and quite soft balls with a hint of lemon, coated in striking and tasty glaze. As you can see for yourself from this recipe, such cookies are ridiculously easy to make, yet the result is simply awesome. With tea, coffee, or milk, these cottage cheese cookies go wonderfully. I recommend not just looking at the recipe, flipping through the photos, and moving on—actually try making these cookies; you won’t regret it. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
