Ingredients

  • 9 tbsp. butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 1/2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tsp. grated lemon peel
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. salt

Directions

Cream the butter with the sugar until fluffy. Beat in the eggs, lemon juice and lemon peel. Press the cottage cheese through a sieve and add it to the batter, beating well. Sift the dry ingredients together, add them to the batter and mix thoroughly. Drop the batter by the teaspoonful onto buttered baking sheets - spacing the mounds well apart. Bake in a preheated 400 F. oven for about 15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly browned. Makes 48 cookies.
