Notes
Cottage Cheese Cookies can be served warm or at room temperature. They make a great snack on their own or can be enjoyed with a glass of milk or a cup of tea. For a twist, try spreading a little nut butter on top for extra flavor and nutrition. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for about a week. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 3 months.
