these made from dough cut in squares
These are very simple, but you will find
NO better cookie anywhere!
On the down side, they do require advanced preparation
(overnight is best). Included are a couple of filling recipes,
but a can of pre-made will work too. (Apricot is best)
When rolling out dough, try to keep it as chilled as possible.
To cream the cottage cheese, it helps if you have a food
processor or blender, but a fork and a strong arm will do
in a pinch.
