Cheese Rolls

Ingredients

• 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, softened
• 3/4 cup small curd cottage cheese
• 1 cup unbleached flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Glaze
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2-3 tablespoons of milk or heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• pinch of salt

Directions

1. Combine the butter, cottage cheese, flour and salt. Mix together.
2. Form dough into a disk and wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for two hours or overnight.
3. Pull dough out of the fridge (if it was refrigerated overnight, let it come to room temp for about 15 minutes) and unwrap the plastic.
4. Set dough onto a floured surface and roll into a 14 inch circle.  With a pizza cutter, cut the dough into eight triangles.
5. From the outside in, roll each triangle of dough and form into a crescent shape.  Set it onto a greased baking sheet with. the small corner tip of the dough on the bottom (so it doesn’t flap up while baking).
6. Bake at 375 for about 30 minutes or until it is a golden color on the top.
7. Let the cheese rolls rest for a minute while you make a simple glaze.
8. Drizzle glaze over the tops of the rolls.

Glaze

Whisk the ingredients together with just enough milk until it makes a consistency that’s just about right for drizzling. Enjoy! Makes 8 rolls.
