Nana's Cottage Cheese Cookies


We love sweets in our house and most anything with chocolate. These cookies are a family favorite. It does sound a bit strange with cottage cheese and I had never had anything like them growing up, but at first bite I fell in love with them. I bet its the Almond Extract that I love in them.....The only problem I find with them is getting them cooked but not over cooked....there is a fine line for that with this recipe....don't forget to allow time for the chill in the fridge.....

Makes: 2 Dozen

3/4 C Butter, softened
1 3/4 C Sugar
1 T Brown Sugar
2 Eggs
1 C Cottage Cheese
1/2 T Vanilla Extract
1/2 T Almond Extract
1/2 C Unsweetened Cocoa
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Salt
2 3/4 C Flour
Powdered Sugar, for dusting cookies

Mix sugars and butter. Add eggs, extracts and cottage cheese. Beat until blended. Add all dry ingredients and mix well. Chill dough in the fridge for 1 hour then roll dough balls about size of a whole walnut. Then roll in powdered sugar. Bake on greased cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 10 min. I bake mine on parchment paper. Enjoy!
