Notes
- It's best to store these cookies in the refrigerator since they are made primarily with cottage cheese. They will keep well in an airtight container for up to a week in the fridge.
- If you prefer not to bake the cookies you can eat the cottage cheese cookie dough straight out of the refrigerator for a treat by the spoonful.
