Ingredients
  

Cottage Cheese
  • 1 cup cottage cheese well-drained
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained cottage cheese, granulated sugar, softened butter, vanilla extract, and the egg. Mix until well blended and creamy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
