Cottage cheese crescents with cherries

Description

Cottage cheese crescents are homemade baked goods made from cottage cheese. They always turn out delicious and pair wonderfully with a cherry filling. Right after baking, the cottage cheese crescents are tender beyond belief—they have a porous, soft crumb like yeast dough. When the crescents have cooled completely, they remain just as soft and tender inside, while the outside develops a light, crispy crust. It’s very simple and delicious! Be sure to make them and treat your family to this wonderful bake.
