If you are looking for a cookie that is not too sweet - consider these delightful little roll-ups. Made with a dollop of cottage cheese, they will satisfy your sweet tooth and give a you a nice shot of protein as well. I like to make these for parties because they are really pretty as well as tasty. They include the extra step of rolling them out, then cutting and rolling back up. But they are totally worth it in flavor! Dense and almost chewy - the cottage cheese gives them a delicious flavor and texture.
Country Crock® provided me with the spread to use in this recipe. (I'm participating in a fun Easter baking contest. 🙂 )
