Notes

  • Don't use a non-fat cottage cheese as it has too high of a water/moisture content for this cookie batter.
  • It is important to blend the cottage cheese thoroughly so it is smooth. If there are any chunks left, they will stay whole in the cookies.
  • If you do not slightly press these cookies down, they will end up in a dome shape. They will look different but still taste the same.
