Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup 4% small-curd cottage cheese
  • 1/3 cup reduced-fat plain yogurt
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400°. In a food processor, combine the first 5 ingredients; cover and process until smooth. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; cover and pulse until mixture forms a soft dough.
