Delicious cottage cheese cookies
Description
Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. Cottage cheese cookies have a unique texture, achieved by using dry cottage cheese (if your cottage cheese is wet, squeeze it through cheesecloth) and soft butter. Don't worry that there's no sugar in the dough—simply generously sprinkle the cookies with sugar, which will sweeten the finished baked goods. Be sure to add vanilla in any form: powder, essence, or sugar—it will give the cookies an appetizing aroma. Serve with tea or coffee.

Step 1
1. Mash the cottage cheese with a fork. Cut the soft butter into cubes (if it's too soft to cut easily, place the butter in the refrigerator for 10 minutes) and add it to the cottage cheese. Mix the mixture with a fork, add vanilla, and mix again.
