Ingredients
- 200 g (7 oz) cottage cheese
- 80 g (5.5 tbsp) butter, softened
- 150 g (1 1/4 cups) flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 50 g (1/4 cup) sugar, plus more for coating
Instructions

- Roll in sugar, place on a tray and bake at 200°C (400°F) for 10-15 minutes.
Tips

- Roll the crescents in sugar just before baking for a crisp, sparkling coating.
- Serve warm for the best texture, and store leftovers in an airtight container. For more baking ideas, browse Allrecipes.
