Cottage cheese cookies

Description

Homemade treats for tea. My family devours these cookies in just minutes. I usually get about 30 pieces, but they don't last long :) For even more flavor, mix the cottage cheese with your favorite jam or syrup. I'm sure this recipe will become your favorite too. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
