Ingredients
- 1 cup butter room temp, softened
- 1 ½ cups cottage cheese use the 4% kind - I have not tested it with light/low fat
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- pinch salt
For the Icing:
- 1 ¾ cups powdered sugar confectioners'
- 3 Tablespoons butter melted
- 2 Tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoons vanilla or any other flavoring you'd like to use
Instructions
- You will not be preheating your oven just yet. After all, we are making "dough".
- Using your stand mixer (or a large bowl and a whisk) beat the butter and the cottage cheese until it is completely blended.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour and the salt.Add it a little at a time to the butter/cottage cheese mixture. Blend everything together well.
- Cover and refrigerate your dough for *at least* 4 hours.
- After you have refrigerated your dough, preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Lightly flour your surface and knead the dough until you can cut it into three equal parts.
- Roll each mound of dough into a ball, and then using a rolling pin, roll each of the individual dough balls out into a 12" circles (it's easier to do this one at a time). Using a knife or pizza cutter, divide each circle into 12 slices ... like a pizza.
- Starting at the widest edge of each "slice", roll the wedges from wide to the pointed end. Place the pointed end down on a greased cookie sheet.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes or until they are a light golden brown.
- Remove from oven. While the rolls are still hot, move them to a wire rack.
- Melt 3 Tablespoons of butter in a pan on the stovetop over low heat.
- Stir in the vanilla and the milk and immediately remove from heat.
- Slowly add the powdered sugar, a little at a time until fully incorporated. It should be kind of thick.
- Spread the icing over the warm rolls.
- Cool and enjoy.
