What to Do

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat cookie sheets with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine melted butter, granulated sugar, salt, baking powder, flour, eggs, milk, and vanilla; beat until blended. Add cottage cheese; mix well.
Roll dough into 1-1/2-inch balls and place on prepared cookie sheets. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden on bottom. Let cool, then sprinkle with confectioner's sugar.

Easy recipe. I added 2 tsp lemon extract in addition to the vanilla. Great way to use up cottage cheese.

My guess is to use the full fat cottage cheese. Will give the cookie a better texture.

I have made these cookies for years but instead of using the vanilla extract I use lemon extract and it gives the cookies a wonderful lemon flavor....
