Description
These cottage cheese cookies are soft, slightly tangy, and tender with buttery edges. Add chocolate chips for pockets of sweetness or leave them plain for a simple tea-time treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Cream together the cottage cheese, sugar, and softened butter until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until well blended. If using, fold in the chocolate chips.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
