How to Make Cottage Cheese Cookies

  1. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients until just mixed. Do not overmix.
  2. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dough to firm up.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls.
  5. Roll each ball in powdered sugar until fully coated.
  6. Place the sugared dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye on them as ovens vary.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
