Cottage Cheese Cookies

My best friend sent me this recipe about 20 years ago when her children were young and she wanted to give them something a bit more healthy than standard cookies. I don't know about healthy, but they sure are moist and really good. After they are made, there is no hint they contain cottage cheese.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Shortening, butter or margarine
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 cups Brown sugar
• 4 teaspoons Vanilla
• 1 pint Cottage Cheese (small curd)
• 5 1/2 cups Flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoons Salt

Steps:

1. Blend together shortening and sugars (be sure butter or margarine is soft)
2. Then mix together cottage cheese and vanilla and add to sugar mixture.
3. Sift together dry ingredients (flour, soda, baking powder & salt) and add one cup at a time to sugar mixture. Mix well.
4. Chill overnight. Form into small balls. Roll in powdered sugar. Drop on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 about 12 minutes.
5. OPTIONAL: 1 cup cocoa or 1 cup nuts
