Creamy cottage cheese takes these cookies to the next level.
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 0.25 cup butter, softened
  • 0.75 cup brown sugar
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.75 cup chopped pecans
  • 0.5 cup raisins
  • 3 tablespoons orange marmalade
  • 1 egg white
  • 2 tablespoons water
Instructions:
  • In a bowl, mix cottage cheese and 1 cup of butter until well combined. Gradually stir in the flour until the dough is sticky. Divide the dough into thirds and wrap each portion with waxed paper. Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours.
  • Preheat your oven to a toasty 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and give that baking sheet a little hug of grease.
  • Mix the remaining 1/4 cup of butter with brown sugar, cinnamon, pecans, and raisins, and set aside. Roll out one dough ball to a 9-inch circle on a floured surface. Keep the rest of the dough chilled. Spread 1 tablespoon of optional orange marmalade over the circle. Gently press 1/3 of the nut mixture onto the dough. Cut the circle into 16 wedges and roll each tightly from the wide end. Place point-side down on a baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the dough. Whisk the egg white with water and brush onto each cookie.
  • Bake in the oven until beautifully golden, for about 18-20 minutes.
