Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Set aside.

  3. Beat the butter until creamy. Add the cottage cheese and beat until incorporated and creamy.
  4. Add the sugar and beat until fluffy.
  5. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Add the egg and beat to incorporate. Beat in the vanilla.
  6. Gently mix in the flour mixture.
  7. Scoop 1-2 tablespoon sized balls of dough onto the prepared cookie sheet. Sprinkle some sanding sugar over each ball of dough.
